Before vaccinations became available in mid-December, Gov. Charlie Baker laid out a risk-based, three-phase plan that outlined where everyone in the state would fall on the governor s priority list, and rough estimates of when the vaccine phases will unfold.
The plan s architects were assisted by an advisory panel that included Rep. Ronald Mariano, who is now speaker of the House, and Sen. Cindy Friedman, a Spilka deputy who last session specialized in health care policy.
Health care workers dealing with COVID-19 patients and first responders were among the first to receive the the vaccine, followed by people who live or work in congregate care sites, such as jails and prisons, and Baker a few days ago fully opened the first phase, making home health workers and others in health care eligible.
