Massachusetts has nearly 1,000 locations where eligible residents can get the COVID-19 vaccine. And as state officials encourage more people to get a booster shot this winter amid the omicron-fueled surge, they’re about to get five more.
Gov. Charlie Baker’s administration announced Tuesday that the planned Fenway Park clinic and four other high-capacity vaccine sites will open next week, offering both primary series vaccinations and booster shots to those eligible.
The sites include two other Boston locations, both in the city’s Roxbury neighborhood: the Melnea Cass Recreation Complex and the Whittier Street Health Center. The state is also backing new sites in Lynn and Taunton.
