Vaccines remain one of the most effective ways to protect children and communities from serious illness. Therefore, despite recent changes announced by the CDC, South Shore Medical Center's vaccine recommendations remain the same and continue to follow the scientific-based guidance of the American Academy of Pediatrics. With that in mind, our vaccine recommendations will not change and will continue to follow the scientific evidence and guidance of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).

Due to limits on COVID-19 vaccine supplies by the state, we are unable to schedule any new, first-dose vaccination appointments at this time. Get more details here.

We have reached a huge milestone in the fight against COVID-19 as vaccinations arrive at health systems. Here's an update on how we're distributing these early doses of the vaccine.

South Shore Health now offers COVID-19 vaccines at Health Express urgent care, and through our Mobile Integrated Health program.
