Revere Board of Health Provides COVID-19 Update

205 Students Vaccinated at School-Based Clinics

Today the Revere Board of Health provided an update of vaccination efforts in the City of Revere. As of May 27, 47% of Revere residents are fully vaccinated (28,753) and 60% of Revere residents (36,672) have at least one dose. The positivity rate has fallen below 2% for the first time since the pandemic started. Data has shown that when vaccination percentages increase, the weekly case numbers substantially decrease.

Last week, the Revere Board of Health and Cambridge Health Alliance went to the Revere Public Schools with the Pfizer vaccine to vaccinate students aged 12 and older. In total, 205 students were vaccinated at the school-based clinics.

Testing continues to be a priority in the city – the two largest testing sites at Suffolk Downs and Revere High School will be open until the end of September and we encourage everyone to continue to get tested if they believe they have been exposed.
