FAQ: Getting my COVID-19 vaccine
MIT Medical does not expect to obtain vaccine during Phase 2. We hope to receive more vaccine in Phase 3, and we will keep the community informed. We encourage all members of the community to get the vaccine as soon as it is available to them. Do not wait to get your vaccine from MIT.
The Commonwealth’s list includes staff and students who work in isolation or quarantine housing and other similar roles. MIT assesses all potentially eligible staff and has emailed letters to eligible individuals that may be used as proof of eligibility.
If you did not receive an email, MIT determined your role is not eligible for vaccine at this time. Visit the Commonwealth’s website to view the list of positions that are now eligible for vaccines.
