RANDOLPH − The state Department of Public Health is offering $75 gift cards to Massachusetts residents who get a COVID-19 booster or vaccination in Randolph through March 31.

The offer is open to anyone who gets a vaccine or booster shot either at the town's permanent Memorial Parkway clinic or at a pop-up clinic at St. Bernadette’s Church this weekend. The church clinic will be open Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 28 and 29, at 1031 North Main St. Shots will be available from 4 to 6 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday.
