The Vax Express Keeps Rolling But Vaccine Inequity Remains Julie Santana boarded the Massachusetts Vaccine Express about to get his COVID-19 vaccine shot. Aaron Schachter / GBH At Union Station in Worcester Thursday, the mood was jubilant, the tunes from a local DJ were hits of the ’80s and ’90s and Massachusetts’ lieutenant governor couldn’t have been more excited about what the state s “Vax Express” is trying to do: get needles in the arms of people who might otherwise not get a vaccine. “We need to go to places where there has been hesitancy and reach people where they are, which is where we are, on the commuter rail literally going to the gateway communities to bring the vaccine,” said Lt. Governor Karyn Polito. “We have pop-up clinics. We’ll literally go to your home.”
