COVID-19 Vaccine Scheduling

[En Español]

Due to high demand and constrained vaccine supply, COVID-19 vaccination appointments are limited at this time. 

The Lynn Tech Vaccination Site will provide all three vaccines — Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson — as they are distributed to us by the state. Patients will receive the vaccine that is available on the day of their appointment and we are unable to provide that information ahead of time. We are also not able to offer patients a choice as to which vaccine they receive. Please be assured that all three vaccines are safe and highly effective.

Please bring the following information to your appointment:

  1. A government-issued identification or license, employer-issued ID card that includes your name and title, or recent paystub or utility bill to prove that you live or work in Lynn or Nahant (or the state if you are a LCHC patient).
  2. Health Insurance card

Lack of driver’s license, social security number, or insurance is not a barrier to receiving the vaccine.

Both doses of the series should be completed with the same product. Visit CDC.gov for more information.

For your health and safety, it is very important that you get your second dose in the recommended timeframe.

If you receive the Pfizer vaccine, it is recommended you get your vaccine 21 days after your first dose.

If you receive the Moderna vaccine, it is recommended you get your vaccine 28 days after your first dose.

The type of vaccine you receive will depend on what is available on the day of your appointment. Please ensure you are available to return for your second dose 21 or 28 days after your scheduled appointment.
