Tri-Town seniors who prefer the phone to the internet now have a way to schedule a covid-19 vaccine appointment.
On Friday, Feb. 5, Gov. Charlie Baker announced that the state had launched a call center for those age 75 and older who were unable to access the vaccine appointment website or who had trouble navigating the complex online system.
From 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, anyone in Massachusetts older than 75 can call 211 and navigate to the vaccine help line by pressing two when prompted.
Baker said there would be over 500 people working the call center and providing support.
