Mass. Lawmakers Confront Baker on COVID Vaccine Rollout © Provided by New England Cable News
Gov. Charlie Baker on Thursday apologized for problems with the Massachusetts COVID-19 vaccination portal but reiterated his argument that a limited supply of doses from federal authorities was to blame for a troubled vaccine rollout.
Baker was asked at an appearance before the COVID-19 and Emergency Management and Preparedness Committee whether he would apologize to people who encountered issues with the state s vaccine portal, which crashed last week as a million people became eligible for vaccination. Of course. Absolutely. Definitely. Yes, he said. It s going to be a constant challenge, going forward that we don t have enough supply to serve the population that wants to get vaccinated. I hope at some point that s not true anymore.
