We now have a new way to help stop the spread of COVID-19—vaccines.
Vaccination will help protect you and those around you from COVID-19.
By being vaccinated, wearing a mask, and staying at least 6 ft. away from others, we can help end this pandemic.
As COVID infections go up in our communities, your risk of getting COVID-19 goes up too, and you can get seriously sick. But the COVID-19 vaccine prevents infections in about 95 percent of people. And it doesn't just protect you—by getting vaccinated, you'll also help keep your family and your community safe from COVID-19.
Currently, Boston Medical Center is providing the vaccine to hospital employees, based on state guidelines. We plan to begin vaccinating patients in early 2021, based on those guidelines. The vaccine will also be available at other health care organizations and pharmacies as part of the nation-wide vaccination effort. It will be available to different groups in phases. Your overall health and your job will help determine which phase you'll get the vaccine in. We expect that healthy adults will be able to get vaccines later in 2021.
We will continue to update this page as we learn more about COVID-19 vaccines.
Let's fight COVID-19 together.
