COVID-19 Vaccine Update, Week of March 1-5
Governor Charlie Baker announced this week that K-12 educators, child care workers and K-12 school staff will be eligible to begin scheduling COVID-19 vaccine appointments starting March 11.

Educators may book appointments at all 170 sites currently open to eligible residents in Massachusetts by visiting mass.gov/covidvaccinemap. 

Due to a severely constrained federal supply, and the existing population that is currently eligible for vaccines, it is estimated that it will take a month for all eligible individuals to secure a first appointment. This timeframe is only subject to change if federal supply increases dramatically, including the recently authorized Johnson & Johnson vaccine. 

As more individuals have received a first vaccine dose across the Commonwealth, there is a greater need to book second appointments, so the mass vaccination sites have fewer first dose appointments available on a weekly basis.


You can always find the most current information on vaccines in Lexington at LexingtonMA.gov/vaccine.

The Impact of Racism on Asian and South Asian American Communities: Coping, Caring, & Wellness; Virtual Event March 11
Join us for a virtual workshop that will address the ways in which the Asian and South Asian American communities are impacted by racism.

March 11 at 6:30 PM

Presenters Dr. Marcia Liu and Dr. Anmol Satiani will discuss stigma around help-seeking in Asian communities and ways that members of these groups may cope with racism, mental health struggles, and move toward wellness individually and collectively.  

It is intended to be an interactive workshop, and we invite questions, comments, and the wisdom of others to be offered to all.
