Eligible residents in Chelsea and Quincy two of Massachusetts cities hit hardest by the pandemic can get the coronavirus vaccine right in their communities starting Friday as part of a new delivery program.
The Last Mile Vaccine Delivery service, which aims to vaccinate Massachusetts’ most vulnerable residents, begins operating Friday with vaccinations at the Chelsea Housing Authority (14 Bloomingdale Street) at 8 a.m. and Granite Place (125 Granite Street) in Quincy at 9 a.m.
Woburn-Based Mascon Medical partnered with the Professional Fire Fighters of Massachusetts and Brewster Ambulance Service to launch the program, which attempts to accelerate vaccine distribution by delivering it to people who are challenged by mobility and increased health risk.
