The City of Cambridge announced that, beginning Saturday, December 4, it is expanding its free COVID-19 testing program to five days per week. Through a new partnership with CIC Health, the City will launch a pilot appointment-only testing site by offering 300 appointments on Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at CIC Health’s 295 Third Street location in Cambridge. In the coming weeks, the number of appointments at this pilot testing site will be expanded.
The City of Cambridge announced that it is extending its successful program for feeding homeless residents with meals provided by local food establishments through January 30, 2022.
The holidays are right around the corner! Because many generations tend to gather to celebrate the season, the best way to minimize the risk of COVID-19 and keep your family and friends safer is to get vaccinated.
Although boosters are especially important for seniors, many Massachusetts residents age 65 and older who are eligible for a booster have not yet received one. It is strongly recommended that all eligible individuals schedule an appointment for a booster as soon as possible if they have not gotten one already.
Due to high demand at the November 10 vaccination clinic, and in order to ensure those who received their first dose can receive their second dose on December 1, walk-in COVID-19 vaccine and flu shots will not be available at the December 1 clinic.
Everyone age 18 or older who received Pfizer or Moderna at least 6 months ago or Johnson & Johnson at least 2 months ago can get any booster. You can mix and match vaccines. You do not need to get the same vaccine brand for your booster as your original COVID-19 vaccination.
The City of Cambridge today announced updates to its Outdoor Dining Policy that extends expanded outdoor dining in Cambridge once the Commonwealth’s COVID-19 Relief Measures expire.
Many local sites are now open for appointment registration for younger children, with others ready to accept walk-ins beginning the second week of November. Health care systems and pediatricians’ offices have also received vaccine supplies and are reaching out to patients to schedule appointments.
