INSTRUCTIONS FOR RESIDENTS WHO HAVE SECURED AN APPOINTMENT:
o If you are feeling ill, experiencing any COVID-19 symptoms (fever, cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, sudden loss of taste or smell, chills, muscle pain), or are waiting for COVID-19 test results, please DO NOT attend the clinic.
o Bring a government-issued form of identification and health insurance information (if you have health insurance).
o Arrive outside the entrance to the clinic no more than 10 minutes before your appointment.
This is important as many stood outside in the cold last week unnecessarily. We want to ensure all residents are not standing out in the cold and are practicing social distancing. If you have an appointment, are a Framingham resident, and are 75 years or older, you will be vaccinated.
o Wear a mask and practice social distancing at all times.

o PLEASE DO NOT ENTER THE BUILDING BEFORE THE TIME OF YOUR APPOINTMENT. We will not be able to admit patients early. Please follow the signage for entry.
o Wear clothing that allows ease of access to the upper arm.
o Expect to be at the vaccination site for about 30 minutes. This includes a mandatory 15-30-minute wait after you have been vaccinated.
o If a caregiver or companion accompanies you, he or she will not be eligible for a vaccination at the Framingham Clinic. At this time, only mass vaccination sites have the capacity to accommodate companion appointments. Mass vaccination sites are large venues that offer a high number of vaccine appointments. Look for these sites with a red star on the State’s map.
