We are deeply sorrowed by the recent murders in Atlanta targeting Asian American women. Over the past year, the Asian community across this nation has experienced discrimination and acts of violence that are deeply alarming. As a health center, we have come together to speak out against racism and xenophobia.
Now, hope has a name. It is Fernando. Yesterday, we received a dose of something we all need these days: hope. We began providing the first doses of the COVID vaccine to our patients 75+. We are excited by the realization that more and more patients will be vaccinated every day!
Información importante sobre la vacuna contra el COVID-19 Para nuestros pacientes de 75 años o más: A partir del 1 de febrero, son elegibles para recibir gratis la vacuna contra el COVID-19. Estaremos en contacto con usted próximamente con más detalles sobre cómo hacer una cita. Por favor continúe protegiéndose siguiendo las medidas para cubrirse la cara, distanciarse socialmente y lavarse las manos.

We were thrilled to begin administering the COVID-19 vaccine to our front-line staff in December, but it is not yet available to patients. We will let patients know when and how to get the vaccine when it does become available at Lowell CHC. Please do not call the health center with questions about the vaccine. Please check our COVID-19 page regularly for updates about vaccine availability and other helpful resources related to the virus.
Walk-in vaccine clinics for children 4-18yrs old will be held on Saturday 12/5 and Saturday 12/19 from 9 am to 1:30 pm. Make sure your children have the vaccines required for school. No appointment needed!
“Like many programs during the coronavirus pandemic, Lowell Community Health Center’s Teen Building Leadership Opportunities in the Community (Teen BLOCK) had to suspend in-person activities, including its well-attended Dance 4 Peace that is normally held every summer. Though Teen BLOCK can’t serve local teens ages 13 to 18 through in-person programs right now, it has been trying to stay in touch with them virtually over the summer and as the new school year begins.”
We urge everyone to get the flu vaccine! A walk-up, outdoor flu vaccine clinic for Lowell CHC patients ages 6 months and up will be taking place at our 161 Jackson Street location on specific days and times during the month of November. No appointment needed.
Travel can create its own risks during the pandemic. Here are things to consider. Thanks to WBUR and Lowell CHC’s own Community Health Worker and Contact Tracer, Lorna Kiplagat for weighing in.
