AMHERST – An ambitious plan to administer COVID-19 vaccination to homebound individuals here and surrounding towns began March 3, according to the town’s public health director Emma Dragon.
“It is expected to take several weeks to complete the plan to vaccinate the over 100 homebound individuals that have been identified so far,” a press release from the town of Amherst says.
According to Town Manager Paul Bockelman’s office around 30 individuals have been vaccinated.
“We value the vulnerable and underserved individuals within our community and feel committed to getting them vaccinated,” Dragon said in the statement.

AMHERST Access to the John P. Musante Health Center will be improved and new outdoor gathering spots on Boltwood Walk are being created using money received from the state.
A $192,600 grant from the Department of Transportation’s Winter Shared Streets and Spaces Program is funding the projects around the Bangs Community Center, which houses the Amherst Senior Center and the Boltwood parking garage.
Town Manager Paul Bockelman said Tuesday that plans in development for several years by the Planning Department would create a new ramp and walkway system, compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, that will bring those who park on the ground level of the parking garage to the health center, on the lower level of the Bangs.
