Cities of Somerville and Revere have announced a COVID-19 vaccination clinic for all Veterans on April 3, 10am-1pm.

Watch a message from Ted Louis-Jacques, Somerville Director of Veterans' Services here: https://youtu.be/FG5gP6ua7co

The City of Somerville Office of Veterans’ Services, in partnership with the Revere Office of Veterans’ Services and the VA Boston Healthcare System, have announced a COVID-19 vaccination clinic for Veterans of all ages. The clinic will take place on Saturday, April 3, from 10 a.m to 1 p.m. at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Beachmont Post 6712 located at 150 Bennington Street, Revere, MA 02151.

To be eligible, Veterans must be enrolled in the VA Healthcare. Veterans currently not enrolled can enroll by calling the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Healthcare at 877-222-8387, or they can enroll on-site the day of the vaccination clinic. There are no additional eligibility criteria. Vaccines will be distributed on a first come, first serve basis and no registration or sign-up is required.

“It was imperative that we create a multi-faceted strategy to reach the Veterans population by bringing vaccinations directly into impacted communities and offering an exclusive COVID-19 clinic for Veterans of all ages,” said Somerville Director of Veterans’ Services Ted Louis-Jacques. “This partnership is indicative of the fundamental changes that can happen when you provide access, break down barriers, and close equity gaps for the people who need it most.”

Marc Silvestri, Director of Veterans Services for the City of Revere, added, “I know firsthand how challenging the last year has been, but now with the vaccine, there is light at the end of the tunnel. I am proud to be working in collaboration with the VA Boston and VFW post 6712 in Beachmont to bring a vaccination clinic to Revere. We have been working diligently to make this happen, and it’s an honor to work together in vaccinating our Veterans. As leaders and trusted members of the community, we need to lead by example and get vaccinated. I am excited for April 3rd and hope to see you there!”

The Moderna and Janssen (Johnson and Johnson) vaccine will be offered at the clinic. Individuals who receive the Moderna vaccine will be scheduled to receive the second dose on May 1, 2021. A second dose is not needed for the Janssen vaccine.

For further details or questions, contact Ted Louis-Jacques, City of Somerville Director of Veterans’ Services at [email protected]. The City of Somerville is also available to help those who face barriers to accessing vaccines including needing transportation or language assistance. If you are currently eligible to receive a vaccine and need help accessing the vaccine, please call 311 (617-666-3311).

If you are a Somerville resident please complete your census.

Somerville has surpassed the 2010 U.S. Census self-response rate (70%)!

As of September 11th, 70.5% of Somerville residents have self-responded to the 2020 U.S. Census online or by phone. But everyone must be counted! If you have not yet responded, go to my2020census.gov or call 844-330-2020 to complete the Census in just 10 minutes. It's up to all of us to make sure that 100% of Somerville residents are counted in the 2020 Census so that we all receive equal representation in government and essential funding for education, public health, housing and so much more.

Want to see the self-response rate in your neighborhood? You can explore and compare self-response rates here: censushardtocountmaps2020.us

**Note that self-response rates do not include households that have been counted by U.S. Census enumerators who are currently visiting homes in Somerville.
