BOSTON (AP) – Massachusetts’ coronavirus vaccine appointment portal crashed Thursday as more than one million additional state residents became eligible to schedule a shot.

The state in a tweet said “Due to high volume, http://vaxfinder.mass.gov is currently experiencing technical difficulties” but it is working to fix them.
