MARLBOROUGH A mass vaccination site with the capacity to administer 750 doses per day could be ready to go by next Monday, Mayor Arthur Vigeant told city councilors Monday night
Staff from UMass Memorial-Marlborough Hospital and city workers worked through last weekend to finalize and send a proposal to Boston for what Vigeant called a “mini-mega site.”
“I think they heard us loud and clear that we’re ready to go,” he said. “We want to get these vaccines out on the street.”
The planned site would be at the Courtyard By Marriott Boston Marlborough hotel on Felton Street, near Interstate 495. Vigeant said UMass Memorial-Marlborough Hospital estimates that about a dozen staff members would be needed to cover an eight-hour shift administering COVID-19 vaccines.
