Protection against COVID-19

Town plans to hold another vaccination clinic next week at Saugus Senior Center

  Town Manager Scott C. Crabtree and the Saugus Health Department this week announced a second Saugus COVID-19 Vaccination Clinic on Thursday, Jan. 20, from 1 to 5 p.m. at the Saugus Senior Center located at 466 Central St. in Saugus. The first COVID-19 clinic in December was a great success and the Town has received many inquiries about the town hosting another vaccine clinic, according to Town Manager Scott C. Crabtree. This second COVID-19 vaccine clinic will again allow more accessibility and convenience for all children, adults and our seniors of Saugus.

  “Access and availability to the COVID-19 vaccinations continues to be a priority of this administration,” Town Manager Crabtree said in a press release issued this week. “Saugus will continue to prioritize the health and safety of our residents and look for ways to expand access to the vaccinations.”

  The clinic will offer the Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson Janssen vaccines, if available, for those eligible from five years old and above needing their first, second or booster shots. Saugus residents are encouraged to book an appointment to allow for faster service by visiting Click to Register for Saugus’s COVID-19 Vaccine Clinic (https://home.color.com/vaccine/register/cataldo?calendar=0e622661-7403-4f94-98f6-7aa6a7aa9e9f). Appointments will be subject to the availability of vaccine doses, which are provided by the Commonwealth. The Saugus Health Department can assist and answer any questions that residents have at (781) 231-4117.

  “We hope Saugus residents and their families will take advantage of this additional second opportunity to receive their COVID-19 vaccinations in a convenient and easy-to-access manner,” Crabtree said.

  “The pandemic has been difficult for everyone, and we are proud to help provide protection to our community through this important initiative,” he said.
