Am I currently eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine?
The hospital, per state guidance and availability of vaccine supply, has opened appointments to all community members ages 16 and older.
When scheduling your first vaccine appointment, please ensure that you will be available 3-4 weeks later to receive your second vaccine dose. As of now, we must schedule your second vaccine appointment 3-4 weeks after your first shot per guidance from the vaccine manufacturer. If you know you will not be available or are uncertain, please do not schedule a vaccine appointment at this time. If you need to reschedule your second dose, we cannot guarantee that it will be available for you because others who received their first dose will be in line for their second dose appointment. Thank you for your cooperation.
On Saturday, April 24 at 8 am, new appointments will become available for the following dates:
On Monday, April 26 at 5 pm, new appointments will become available for the following dates:
Due to vaccine supply constraints, very limited dose 1 vaccine appointments will become available Saturday morning. We are hopeful that we will receive a greater supply in the coming weeks.

To preregister for a vaccine appointment at a mass vaccination site, please complete the state’s preregistration form.
Please be on time for your appointment. We have limited space at the hospital, so we ask you not to show up too early and not late. We appreciate your cooperation.
We will ask when you get to the hospital (to receive your vaccine) to follow certain safety protocols – which are mandatory.
We do so to protect not only you but our staff and others in the hospital.
Thank you for your help following these simple steps to keep everyone safe.
We ask for everyone’s patience in the process. We know that everyone is eager to get the COVID-19 vaccine. Martha’s Vineyard Hospital is committed to getting all the community vaccinated as soon as possible. We are dependent on the supply we receive and we must follow state guidelines.

The safety of our patients, staff, and community is very important to us. Please read our visitor policy before arriving at our facility.
Essential visitors are visitors for patients receiving end-of-life care.
Support persons include birth partners, parents/caregivers of pediatric patients, attorneys of patients, and designated support persons for patients with disabilities.
Essential visitors and support persons do not need to comply with the Massachusetts travel mandate to visit.
Non-essential visitors are all other visitors 18 and older. They must comply with the Massachusetts travel mandate to visit.
Martha's Vineyard Hospital allows one visitor per patient per day. This is for patients not isolated for suspected or confirmed COVID-19 in the units that are able to meet the requirements below.
At this time, visitors are not allowed in outpatient areas (areas for patients who are not admitted to the hospital, for example, in the emergency room, surgical or procedural rooms, or clinics).
There are very limited exceptions for support persons. One support person is allowed for patients with disabilities and patients under age 18.
Other support persons need to be approved before the appointment. Please call the clinic for approval before the appointment. Note: Clinics will do their best to accommodate support persons but may be limited by physical space or other constraints.
Some reasons that you might want to request a support person are if you:
If you cannot find childcare and need to bring your child under the age of 18 years old with you, the child will need to join you in the exam room. Children must be supervised at all times.
All support persons must meet the requirements below.
