COVID-19 vaccination site to open at Mercantile Center, for UMass Memorial patients

WORCESTER UMass Memorial Health Care is setting up a COVID-19 vaccination site at Mercantile Center, adjacent to the COVID-19 testing site.
But UMass Memorial Health Care President and CEO Dr. Eric Dickson said the site will initially be available only to already-identified patients in the UMass Memorial system, not to the general public.
In other words: Don’t call us, we’ll call you.
“Initially we will be doing the frailest and sickest UMass Memorial patients - they have already been identified by age and comorbidities,” Dickson said in an interview Thursday. “As more vaccines become available, we’ll make it available to the general public . Initially there will be no ability to sign up online.”
