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. 

“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.”

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.
