WINTHROP Pam Taylor called the coronavirus vaccine hotline 155 times Friday afternoon.
Taylor, 85 and a resident of Winthrop, was instructed to call the number sometime last week and was instructed to call between the hours of 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. if she wanted to put her name on a list to get the vaccine.
She didn’t get through to an operator a single time.
