Important vaccine information
Beginning the week of Feb. 1, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health is opening vaccine eligibility to adults aged 75 and older. The second step of Phase 2 eligibility includes residents 65 years and older and people with two or more risk factors.
It’s important to recognize that Phase 2 includes a large group of people and is slated to run February through April. Not everyone will be able to be vaccinated immediately.
As anticipated, the vaccine will be distributed in many places, including large state sites (such as Fenway Park), pharmacies, doctors’ offices and other locations. Consider checking with your primary healthcare provider about vaccination plans.
Frontline health care workers in Florida have been prioritized for the COVID-19 vaccine. But the state’s hospice and in-home health care workers are not included.
