Massachusetts health care facilities on Monday began rolling out doses of a second coronavirus vaccine â this one made by Cambridge-based Moderna â a hopeful development during a dark period of the battle against a virus that has killed thousands in the state.
Even as front-line health workers began taking the first of the two doses the Moderna vaccine requires, Governor Charlie Baker sought to drive home the gravity of the ongoing threat from the virus. His administration is âbasically begging everyone to stay within their immediate householdâ during the holidays.
