Updated Feb 02, 2021;
HOLYOKE The Board of Health is continuing to explore ways to set up a COVID-19 vaccination site, though logistics, trained staff, and access to the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines remain obstacles.
Board of Health Director Sean Gonsalves said at a meeting on Monday the Lincoln and Northampton Streets Stop and Shops plan to open a public vaccination site. He added an announcement from the supermarket chain is pending.
A vaccination center opened at Baystate Health on Whitney Avenue. The Holyoke Health Center is running into a supply problem in accessing the vaccines, according to Gonsalves.
