MILFORD, MA — The Milford Board of Health will host another coronavirus vaccine clinic this week, this time at the senior center.

The Thursday clinic will offer the Pfizer version of the coronavirus vaccine, which the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved for use in people under 18.

Local residents over age 12 can get booster shots at the clinic — the FDA has authorized mixing vaccines for a third dose. Residents can also get a second regular vaccine shot.
