Ashland, like many communities throughout the state and nation, has struggled to secure doses of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Town leaders have put in requests for the vaccine, but have been denied.
“Obviously, we were struggling like everyone else,” said police Sgt. Ed Burman, the town’s COVID-19 task force manager.
The state Department of Public Health encouraged town leaders to create partnerships with surrounding communities that are also having difficulty getting doses of the vaccine. Hosting a regional clinic could prompt the state to send more doses faster.
“They kept telling us Ashland was too small,” said Burman. “They didn’t want to send us 100 doses, 200 doses.”
