BOURNE State Sen. Julian Cyr, D-Truro, on Thursday slapped down a freshman state representative’s plans for a teacher vaccination clinic this month at Upper Cape Cod Regional Technical School.
But state Rep. Steven G. Xiarhos, R-Barnstable, does not intend to abandon plans for the Bourne clinic, according to a Thursday afternoon statement from his office.
“This has nothing to do with politics,” said the statement from Xiarhos’ chief of staff, Kaitlin M. Wright.
“Since taking office, Rep. Xiarhos’ goal has been to get our students fully back to school in person, and he remains committed to helping make that a reality,” she said.
