Yarmouth Health Director Bruce Murphy called Wednesday’s news from the Baker-Polito administration “very disappointing.”
There’s not enough vaccine on the Cape for individuals age 75 and up, who have been eligible since Feb. 1 to be immunized against COVID-19, he said.
“It’s akin to having people waiting in line to see The Who, and five busloads of people show up to jump the line,” said state Rep. Timothy Whelan, R-Brewster.
Whelan was one of more than 90 elected and appointed Cape officials who signed a letter to Baker asking for 55,000 more doses of vaccine to immunize all Cape Codders ages 75 and older.
