WESTBOROUGH, MA — The Westborough Health Department in June will host a coronavirus booster shot clinic for senior citizens.

The June clinic will feature the Moderna version of the COVID-19 vaccine. The Moderna shot comes in two initial doses, but anyone can get a booster at least five months after receiving a second shot.

There's also now a second booster shot available — which would be shot No. 4 for people who received an initial two-shot vaccine version, like Moderna or Pfizer — to anyone over age 50 four months after the last shot.
