“I’m extremely disappointed at the cadence with which we and I include myself have moved forward on these issues affecting policing and public health reform and schools and it’s not good enough,” said City Councilor-at-Large Khrystian King. “I would absolutely say I’m frustrated.”
Others were more explicit.
“There has been zero response from the city of Worcester,” said Joseph Hennessey, a retired police officer who now practices law and focuses on police misconduct cases. “If it was such a big priority, they would have acted upon it in May when there was the push in the multiple protests that were happening around the country back then.”
COVID-19 Vaccinations Begin For First Responders In Massachusetts
CBS Boston 1/11/2021 Syndicated Local – CBS Boston
BOSTON (CBS) – About 45,000 first responders in Massachusetts became eligible Monday to get COVID-19 vaccinations at more than 60 approved locations across the state.
All first responders have to sign up for an appointment and bring one form of identification – a badge, an employer ID, a paystub and license, or a letter from their chief. They must also make an appointment at the same location for their second dose of the vaccine.
“We worry about bringing it home to our families. But also, working with the community, we don’t want to be super-spreaders,” said Worcester Police Chief Steven Sargent. He and Fire Chief Michael Lavoie were both vaccinated Monday morning, each getting their first dose of the Moderna shot.
