Boston Mayor Kim Janey joined public health authorities Saturday at one of three mass vaccination initiatives dubbed the “Day of Hope.”
Individuals who got a shot at the events in the Mattapan, East Boston and Roxbury neighborhoods received gift certificates to a local supermarket. In addition to immunizations, the events offered food and entertainment.
Organizers said the intent was not only to encourage vaccination, but to honor those who died from the coronavirus and to celebrate the progress being made in overcoming it.
