Cape Codders no longer need to make appointments to get their COVID-19 vaccines.
Vaccination sites across the Cape including Cape Cod Melody Tent in Hyannis and Cape Cod Fairgrounds in East Falmouth are now offering shots to walk-ins during clinic hours.
The days when Cape Codders had to spend hours online trying to find an appointment have vanished with the winter’s chill.
“Walk-ins are available universally. It’s never been easier” to get a shot, state Sen. Julian Cyr, D-Truro, said Thursday morning during a briefing by the Cape Cod COVID-19 Response Task Force.
“Now we have ample supplies. You can sign up. You can walk in,” Cyr said.

With Massachusetts on track to reach its target goal of 4.1 million people fully vaccinated by the beginning of June, the state will begin to reallocate its resources, Governor Charles D. Baker Jr. said at a press conference Monday morning, May 3.
The âharder-to-reach populationsâ will now be the target for the commonwealth.
âAt this point, weâre adjusting our vaccine distribution strategy to be more targeted and will shift vaccines to smaller-scale operations that can focus on particular communities or particular populations,â Gov. Baker said.
These smaller-scale operations will include more doses for 22 regional collaborations, doubled allocation for the 20 most impacted communities and an increase in the number of mobile vaccination clinics.

MASSACHUSETTS It s Friday, April 30. Here s what you should know this afternoon:
Cape Cod health officials are hunting down people to get vaccinated, marking a 180-degree shift from when residents had to spend hours online to secure an appointment.
A Massachusetts man was sentenced this week in Boston federal court in connection with selling a pesticide-coated lanyard that falsely claimed to protect against COVID-19 and other viruses.
HYANNIS Paula Borowski, of Hyannis, was eager to get immunized against COVID-19, but she dreaded the idea of having to travel to a mass vaccination site off-Cape or spending hours online trying to book an appointment.
As full-time head baker at the Cottage Street Bakery in Orleans who also works one day a week at Buckies in Dennisport, Borowski, 64, has precious little time to chase vaccines.
It turned out that getting her first shot of Pfizer was a piece of cake.
Close to noon on Tuesday, Borowski walked into a vaccination clinic at the Barnstable Adult Community Center in Hyannis and found herself one of the only patients among what seemed like a small sea of vaccinators.
