BOSTON (AP) – Gov. Charlie Baker said Wednesday that Massachusetts is forging ahead with plans to vaccinate as many residents as possible despite pausing the use of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine on the advice of federal authorities. The vast majority of vaccine shots being administered in Massachusetts are the Moderna and Pfizer two-shot vaccines. The J&J vaccine accounted for about 3% of the vaccines set to be administered in the state this week. Also Wednesday, University of Massachusetts trustees approved President Marty Meehan’s proposal to freeze tuition for most students over concerns many are struggling financially because of the pandemic.
