With the state’s rollout of COVID-19 vaccinations for people over the age of 75 on the horizon, Gov. Charlie Baker explained the registration procedure at a press conference earlier this week.
“Determine if you’re eligible, on the site, find a location that’s providing vaccinations that’s convenient to you, click on it, make an appointment,” he said, referring to pages on the state’s website offering information about vaccine eligibility and a map of locations.
