General Information
Which vaccines?
Northampton currently has four regular clinic times at three locations offering Pfizer vaccine, Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) vaccine, and second or third doses of Moderna vaccine. Outdoor clinics are walk-up or pre-register an appointment. Indoor clinics at the Municipal Building are by appointment to maintain social distancing. Vaccine appointments and walk-in hours are open to all Massachusetts residents who are eligible to receive the vaccine. We are no longer administering vaccine at the Northampton Senior Center.
Third doses for certain individuals with immune system compromise
We do offer third doses for immune compromised individuals who received two doses of a Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna (mRNA vaccine) series. Tuesdays from 10am-1pm we offer indoor appointments for third doses only for individuals with immune compromise. Otherwise everyone 12+ is welcome at any of our outdoor locations where social distancing is easy or at other indoor clinics where we will be immunizing others who may be unimmunized or only partially immunized.
Who can be vaccinated?
All Massachuetts residents ages 12 years old and older are now eligible. Please note, the only vaccine approved starting as young as age 12 is Pfizer-BioNTech; theModerna and Johnson & Johnson Janssen are approved for age 18+.
Boosters?
- Currently "boosters" are not approved. Individuals with an immunocompromising condition may be eligible for a third dose of Pfizer or Moderna vaccine. There is no currently approved additional dose for individuals who received Janssen Johnson&Johnsonvaccine.
- We are not yet offering "booster" doses or third doses for individuals who do not meet the above criteria. We do not yet have a date when we will start these doses. We will await guidance from the CDC and Massachusetts Department of Public Health; this is likely to become available in later September 2021. Once available, we will post information here on this page
If you have any difficulty finding a first (or second Pfizer) dose of COVID vaccine or making an appointment after looking at this page, please call the vaccine line at 413-587-1219 or send email here.

Important information for minors and their legal guardians/parents/caregivers
The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID19 vaccine is approved as young as age 12. We would prefer that minors are accompanied by their legal guardian for the vaccination appointment in case of any side effects. However if a minor will be coming to the clinic alone they need to have a legal guardian make their appointment online and complete the electronic attestation and consent process. If a minor is coming alone AND the guardian is unable to complete the online scheduling and consent, please bring a signed copy of the CDC pre-vaccination screening checklist and a consent form signed by their guardian.

- You may make an appointment with us for your second dose even if you did not receive your first dose through the Health Dept. (See availability above in General Information)
- If your received your first dose of Pfizer vaccine at a Health Department clinic at the Senior Center or at another local pop-up clinic, you can schedule your second dose via the text or email your received at the time of your vaccination.
- If you received your dose at at pop-up clinic we will typically return to that same location for your second dose. If you are unsure or have questions please call 413-587-1219 or email kkelly@northamptonma.gov
