Woburn To Host Vaccine Clinics For Students, City Employees

WOBURN, MA — Woburn is offering three vaccine clinics for city and school employees, students and accompanying parents and guardians, the city said Thursday.

The Board of Health, Medical Reserve Corps and school district are offering three Pfizer vaccine clinics, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Mass General Brigham is supplying the vaccines.

"Increased vaccination rates are the most important tool to controlling and ending the Covid-19 pandemic in our city and across the country," the city said. "Furthermore, the MA Board of Education has indicated that an 80% vaccination rate of all students and staff is one of the important prerequisites for lifting the recently imposed mask requirements at our middle and high schools."

Mayor Scott Galvin recently announced a vaccine or regular testing mandate for city employees.

The first 70 people to register for the clinics will receive $30 gift cards after they get vaccinated.

Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian or bring a signed consent form. Pre-registration is encouraged but not required; walk-ins will be accepted. There is no charge for vaccination, but the city asked that people bring insurance information if possible.

The clinic is not providing third doses to those who are already vaccinated.
