New Vaccination Effort in New Bedford Brings Shots to the People From fairytales to Hollywood blockbusters, the rule of three  suggests good things come in threes. Now, some New Bedford-based organizations are coming together to hope that the rule of three will help boost the city s COVID-19 vaccination rate. Pam Cole, a member of the Commission for Citizens with Disabilities, announced on WBSM a new program developed to vaccinate New Bedford residents in the comfort of their homes, in hopes of raising the stagnant local vaccination numbers. We re 10 percent below the state average, but if we wanted to get to 70 percent, it would take 30,000 people, and that s a lot of people, Cole said.
