COVID-19 Vaccine Information
• Individuals age 75 and older are eligible beginning February 1, 2021.
• On Wednesday, January 27, individuals 75 or older can begin making appointments for dates February 1 or later.
• Currently the vaccine supply is very limited and dependent of federal allocations.
• The Winthrop Health department does not have vaccine available and do not expect vaccines for at least 3-4 weeks (also dependent on how many doses the state receives)
• All appointments are made online for state-sponsored sites.
• If you are looking for a vaccine appointment, we suggest two things.
• Contact your primary care provider; because of the limited supply they may not be doing distributions currently.
