LYNN — Mayor Thomas M. McGee and the Lynn Department of Public Health have announced additional COVID-19 vaccination clinics for Lynn educators and essential workers.
The next clinic will be Friday from 3 to 7 p.m. in the Breed Middle School gym, located at 90 O’Callaghan Way. It will be open to both educators and essential workers who live and/or work in Lynn. Moderna first-dose vaccines will be administered at that clinic.
There will also be two additional clinic days held strictly for essential workers. The Breed Middle School gym will host those two clinics on Monday, March 29 and Tuesday, March 30 from 3 to 7 p.m. The Johnson & Johnson single-dose vaccine will be distributed at the essential worker clinics.
Eligible educators and essential workers who can sign up for those clinics include K-12 educators, childcare workers and staff, and restaurant or café workers.
Eligibility also includes people working in food, meatpacking, beverage, agriculture, consumer goods and retail industries. Food service workers, and grocery or convenience store workers, food pantry workers or volunteers, medical supply chain workers, vaccine development workers, transit/transportation workers. People who work in public works, water, wastewater, or utility fields, and sanitation workers, public health workers, court system workers and funeral directors and employees are also eligible for the clinics.
Appointments are on a first-come, first-served basis and pre-registration for the clinics is required. Those who schedule an appointment are instructed to bring a photo ID, their health insurance card, and a signed copy of the state’s self-attestation form to the appointment. A lack of a driver’s license, Social Security number, or insurance will not prevent someone from receiving the vaccine.
All eligible groups can still register for appointments at the Lynn Tech vaccination site and the state’s mass vaccination site at the Danvers Doubletree Hotel, which can be found on the state’s website.
Educators and essential workers can also register for appointments through the federal retail pharmacy program’s CVS website.
The state has upcoming clinics designated specifically for educators at their seven mass vaccination sites across the state on March 27, April 3, April 10 and April 11.
