COVID Vaccine Information

A MESSAGE FROM THE CEO - VACCINATIONS

Hi Everyone, 


More progress on the COVID vaccine front! We have arranged for Connected Caregivers to get free vaccines in three locations between now and January 29! 



Where to get vaccinations

Emerson Hospital, 133 Old Rd to 9 Acre Corner, CONCORD (Pfizer)

Holy Family Hospital, 70 East St, METHUEN (Moderna)

St. Elizabeth's Hospital, 736 Cambridge St, BRIGHTON (Moderna)


How to sign up

Clear here before Monday night to tell us where you want to get vaccinated.

The hospital you choose will send you an email this week with a link to register for an appointment. Once you make an appointment, you can’t change it. It’s important that you show up for your appointment - otherwise valuable vaccines go to waste. The hospital will send you all the information you need.


When you can get vaccinated

These locations can vaccinate Connected staff through Friday, January 29. If that date is extended, we will let you know! 

The state of Massachusetts plans to offer further options in February.


What about the second vaccine?

You need to get your second vaccine approximately three weeks later at the same location. The hospital will help you make that appointment when you get your first vaccine. 


What about the state-sponsored sites? Can I get vaccinated later?

Caregivers should be able to get vaccinations from state sites starting in February, as we communicated yesterday. No one is able to make appointments at this time. We’ll let you know more as soon as we know more.

What if I have other questions?

Please check the FAQs below. Send any additional questions questions@connectedhomecare.com. We will be updating this website multiple times a day.


Thank you for all you do!



Jim Reynolds, 

Chief Executive Officer, Connected Home Care

FAQ's

  • What do I need to bring with me?

    Your Connected Name tag  

    OR 

    a letter from Connected stating you are a current employee and a state photo identification or license (we will provide this letter).

  • Are these locations on public transportation?

    Please use the MBTA Trip Planner to determine how to get to each location using public transportation. 


    St. Elizabeths Hospital 

    736 Cambridge St, Brighton, MA 02135


    Holy Family 

    70 East St, Methuen, MA 01844


    Emerson Hospital

    133 Old Rd to 9 Acre Corner, Concord, MA 01742


  • Is this required?

    If you are concerned about the safety of the vaccine, then you may choose to wait for now. We never want you to feel forced into any activity that makes you feel unsafe.


    Nearly all of our senior staff have decided to be vaccinated. It has been approved by the leading health experts in the US, including Dr Anthony Faucci. We have every reason to believe it is as safe and effective as an annual flu shot. 


  • What if I had a flu or shingles shot in the last few weeks?

    There needs to be a two-week gap between these vaccines and the COVID.  Keep this in mind when you schedule. For example, if you got a flu vaccine on January 10, you should schedule your COVID vaccine for January 24 or later. 

  • Can my family members also get vaccinated?

    Unfortunately, no. We asked! This is limited to people who work at Connected. We have to provide the hospitals with a list of our employees and they cannot vaccinate people who are not on it.
