BSU vaccine site could offer convenient option for Middleboro residents
Daniel Schemer
MIDDLEBORO The Board of Selectmen unanimously voted March 1 to be a member in a partnership with Bridgewater State University’s Regional Vaccine Center.
Several weeks ago Governor Charlie Baker announced the state will stop distributing vaccines for COVID-19 to local municipal clinics in order to supply mega and regional sites run by the state.
These plans don’t affect agreements with pharmacies like CVS and Walgreens, which will continue to offer the vaccine at select locations, depending on supply.
The state’s decision to streamline everything by prioritizing vaccine stocks for established high-volume regional and mega sites, like Gillette Stadium and Fenway Park, has been met with disapproval and ire from towns across the Commonwealth.
Members of the Charter Study Committee gave an update to the Select Board at the Jan. 25 meeting, reviewing recommendations and revisions being discussed for the modernized Town Charter.
Committee Chair Brian Giovanoni spoke about some of the debates being had among committee members at recent meetings.
Updating the Charter to reflect the use of gender-neutral pronouns was the biggest topic, and its an issue that still divides officials.
“We looked at our communities. The majority have changed to gender-neutral. We reached out to LGBTQ reps in order to discuss their opinions. They indicated this is the standard approach. We did our research,” said Paula Fay, Committee member.
