While COVID-19 vaccine distribution got off to a rocky start earlier last week, it seemed to get a little better by week’s end, at least to the extent that some county seniors were receiving COVID-19 vaccines and more were planned for this week.
The city of Greenfield is preparing for its Phase 2 kickoff this week. Greenfield Interim Health Director Jennifer Hoffman said the city has 700 doses of the vaccine and will start to give first responders and “essential” personnel their second dose beginning Feb. 10, at the same time it will begin vaccinating seniors ages 75 and older.

For the first time since before the holidays, there are no Franklin County or North Quabbin towns in the state’s “red” or highest-risk COVID-19 category this week, though five are in the “yellow” or higher-risk category.
Orange was the only town left in the “red” last week, but it moved into the yellow with 22 positive COVID-19 cases reported over the past two weeks, according to the most updated figures released Thursday by the state Department of Public Health. The state categorizes cities and towns based on population and the number of cases.
