Massachusetts oversight hearing on COVID vaccine rollout starts Thursday morning with Gov. Charlie Baker
Updated Feb 24, 2021;
Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker will be the first to testify Thursday morning in a hearing examining the state’s rocky COVID-19 vaccine rollout.
The Joint Committee on COVID-19 and Emergency Preparedness and Management begins its hearing at 11 a.m. Thursday with the Republican governor testifying first. The hearing will be the first time Baker will publicly answer questions from lawmakers on vaccine distribution.
Legislators have lodged a series of questions in recent weeks about the rollout, from why the state didn’t initially launch a call center to why long lines formed at mass vaccination sites to why the website crashed after promises to improve the clunky online process.
