Framingham School Committee to urge state to prioritize high school seniors for COVID-19 vaccine
FRAMINGHAM The School Committee is asking the state to prioritize high school seniors for the COVID-19 vaccine.
During a recent meeting, the board discussed a resolution requesting that Gov. Charlie Baker, Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito and the Massachusetts COVID-19 Vaccination Advisory Group take steps to prioritize the Class of 2021 to get shots. The resolution asked that this consideration be made when and if additional dosages become available beyond the current Phase II plan.
The resolution says the move would allow high school seniors to resume in-person learning safely, noting that much of their final year has been disrupted by the pandemic.
