Massachusetts cities and towns are managing the vaccination rollout in part by relying on local resources and infrastructure as the state s approach and strategies face continued criticism.
Municipal officials who recently spoke to the News Service pointed to their own registration systems and educational campaigns as bright spots in the effort to get as many people vaccinated as possible. The state remains at the beginning of its second phase of vaccinations, with residents 75 and older eligible to get their shots, along with companions in some instances, as well as anyone in the phase one groupings.
While municipalities are dependent on the state to get vaccines, some cities and towns have turned to online registration systems to start gathering residents information before they are eligible to receive a shot.
