COVID Vaccine
Notice about Hingham Vaccine Pre-registration
On February 17, 2021, the State informed the Town that effective the week of March 1, the State will no longer be providing first dose vaccines to Hingham (and most other municipal clinics). The State is streamlining the vaccine distribution process and placing an emphasis on mass vaccination sites and regionalized clinics. There is also a growing number of pharmacies and other retail locations administering vaccines in Massachusetts.
Unfortunately, this means that the Town will not be able to schedule additional first-dose vaccination clinics in Hingham and that residents will need to seek the vaccine elsewhere. Please visit the State’s Vaccine Finder website to search for other vaccine sites and to schedule an appointment.
The state COVID-19 website is the best place for the most up-to-date vaccine information. Please send any questions that cannot be answered on the state website to CovidQuestions@hingham-ma.gov. Thank you.
When can I get the COVID-19 vaccine?
Learn where you will fit into the COVID-19 vaccine distribution timeline. The Town of Hingham is referring all vaccine information requests to the Mass.gov information site. Please visit their site for up to date information.
