Please know the vaccines are free, and although you will need to provide some registration and insurance information, you will never be asked to provide your Social Security number or your Driver's License number. New vaccine sites are being added every day. The Governor has opened a phone line 2-1-1 to help those 75 and older sched- ule appointments who do not have access to a computer. It is staffed Monday — Friday, from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM. The Governor has also made it possible for an individual who accompanies a person age 75 or older to one of the four large mass vaccination sites (Fenway Park, Gillette Stadium, the DoubleTree in Dan- vers and the Eastfield Mall in Springfield) to receive the vaccine too. An appoint- ment for both people must be booked. More information can be found by calling 2-1-1 or by going to mass.gov/covidvaccine75. The Watertown Health Department is scheduling local clinics as the Depart- ment receives vaccines. Please call the Senior Center for more information and assistance as they become available. We are here to kelp. It's been a year since we clod our doors. Join me on Zoom on Monday, March 22 at 2:00 PM as we reflect on the past year and how far we have come.
