SWAMPSCOTT, MA In the week more than one million state residents became eligible for the coronavirus vaccine, Diana Rastegayeva and her crew of more than 500 volunteers are concentrating on those the vaccination registration system has largely left behind over the past few months.
What began as savvy navigation of the state s web-based appointment system to get the Swampscott native and Somerville resident s family and relatives of friends vaccinations when those 75 years old or older became eligible in early February has grown to a network that has helped more than 13,000 state residents gain shots through Massachusetts COVID Vaccination Help.
