BOSTON (AP) – The distribution of the first round of COVID-19 vaccine shipments to Massachusetts is set to begin as soon as next week, Gov. Charlie Baker announced Wednesday. The state’s first shipment of nearly 60,000 doses of the Pfizer vaccine was ordered Friday. Among those targeted during the first vaccine phase through February include clinical and non-clinical health care workers doing COVID care and those at long-term care facilities, rest homes and assisted living facilities. The vaccine should be available to the general public in the spring. Baker said despite the news, people can’t let up on COVID-19 precautions like wearing masks.
