FROM THE MAYOR’S OFFICE: Vaccine distribution
Community Content
Vaccination distribution will be a group effort in Newton with many providers needed as supplies increase and more people become eligible according to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health criteria.
Newton Health and Human Services is one of the providers. Last week, we finished up the first round of vaccinations for our first responders. We're also beginning to vaccinate some people living and working in Newton’s group home settings that meet the specific state criteria for congregate care programs and haven’t set up alternative arrangements.
“We know how frustrated all of us are about the spotty information for the Phase II vaccinations,” Mayor Ruthanne Fuller said.
