The Barnstable Patriot
David Kern, a BHS grad who is now a vice president with TripAdvisor in Needham, is calling on private companies to help do their part in helping vaccinate our fellow neighbors and our most vulnerable residents. I wanted to share this Boston Globe article and callout TripAdvisor for supporting our local community, Kern emailed the Patriot, citing a Feb. 3 article titled TripAdvisor opens up its headquarters in Needham to distribute vaccines. As a former Barnstable High School graduate – it is very important that we all do our part to help one another, especially our most vulnerable residents, Kern wrote. He added that he spontaneously thought of using TripAdvisor s now-vacant HQs as a vaccine site two weeks ago over family dinner.
