Unsure how to ready your practice for COVID-19 vaccination? The Massachusetts Medical Society (MMS) and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) encourages you to follow these first steps:
- Identify the lead person at your practice for COVID-19 vaccination planning and implementation.
- Register with the Massachusetts Immunization Information System (MIIS). You can confirm registration at miishelpdesk@mass.gov.
- Once MIIS is completed, submit an electronically signed Massachusetts COVID-19 Vaccination Program (MCVP) enrollment form. You can confirm that your facility has signed and electronically submitted the MCVP enrollment form by contacting the DPH Vaccine Unit at
dph-vaccine-management@massmail.state.ma.us. - For FAQ about the enrollment form, click here.
The MMS is aware that hospitals, health centers, and some of the larger multispecialty group practices received the first round of the vaccine. The DPH anticipates that the next cohort will include private practicing non-affiliated COVID-facing primary care practices and their staff.

From the Massachusetts Health & Hospital Association (MHA):
The state is issuing a new Weekly COVID-19 Vaccination Report each Thursday based on data from the previous Tuesday. The report contains data on the amount of vaccine shipped to Massachusetts and to each of the state’s counties, the number of first and second doses administered to people, the age group and races of the recipients, and the practice type or location (hospital, pediatric practice, urgent care center, etc.) that is receiving the vaccine. To see the report each Thursday, click here and then click on Weekly COVID-19 Vaccination Report.
