During the cold season, Healthy Quaboag emphasizes the importance of accessible vaccine clinics. Therefore, they wanted to be sure to inform Ware families of the In-Home Vaccination Program offered by the state’s Department of Public Health.

This program is available to anyone who has difficulty in getting to a community vaccination location, particularly those facing mobility or transportation challenges. There is no cost to the patient (note that if you have insurance, they will be billed for the cost of the vaccine).

To schedule an in-home vaccine call the In-Home Vaccination Central Intake Line at (833) 983-0485 or go online to the CDR Health Patient Portal page at patientportalma.com.

Both Covid-19 and Influenza vaccines are available. For more information, visit https://www.mass.gov/info-details/in-home-vaccination-program-covid-19influenza.
