Vaccine Clinic Locations in Lowell

Appointments at all sites are currently extremely limited due to the demand for vaccine and limitations on its availability in Massachusetts in Nationally. Information about additional sites outside of Lowell can be found online at: vaxfinder.mass.gov

Make an Appointment By Phone
The City of Lowell has launched a dedicated vaccine appointment assistance call center that will offer live, phone-based support to residents attempting to secure a COVID-19 vaccine appointment. The call center will be open Monday through Saturday from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and is equipped to provide assistance to callers in English, Khmer, Spanish and Portuguese. Residents can reach the call center by dialing 978-228-3019.

Lowell residents may use this line for assistance in schedule appointments, for general inquiries related to the vaccine, to report a need for an at-home vaccination (for homebound residents) and to be added to the waitlist to make a vaccine appointment at the Lowell Senior Center.

Eligible residents encountering difficulty making vaccine appointments using the State's online system may also make an appointment by phone by calling the Mass Vaccine Scheduling Resource Line at 2-1-1. The resource line is available Monday-Friday, 8:30AM-5:00PM.

Other Vaccination Sites in Massachusetts
As more members of the public become eligible to receive the vaccine, all health care institutions including hospitals, community health centers and private medical offices will have access to the vaccine to vaccinate their patients. Pharmacies will also be able to vaccinate their customers.

Lowell residents are also eligible to seek appointments at public sites outside of the City including pharmacies and mass vaccination sites which are equipped to handle a high volume of vaccinations.

Locations listed on this map vary frequently.

Pre-Registration at MassVax Sites
All Massachusetts residents can pre-register for an appointment at one of seven mass vaccination sites throughout the State. Individuals who have pre-registered will not be given an appointment until they are eligible. It may take several weeks or longer for individuals to be contacted once they have pre-registered. Please note that no sites in Lowell are participating in this process.
