BOSTON (CBS) – The state is working with CVS Health and Walgreens to distribute the COVID vaccine, starting with eligible Phase One residents. As of this week, 10,000 vaccine doses will be delivered at at least 15 pharmacies.
According to the Baker administration, Massachusetts is one of the first states to partner with retail pharmacies.
The locations are in Greenfield, Fall River, Salem, South Yarmouth, Pittsfield, Lee, Holden, Gardner, Hyannis, Mashpee, Somerset, Fairhaven, Haverhill, Saugus and Danvers. They were chosen because these areas currently have ‘less access to convenient vaccination sites’, the state said.
Eligible residents can book an appointment here.
About 40 vaccination sites will be added this week of January 25 through this partnership and others including Wegmans, Big Y, Price Chopper, Stop & Shop and Hannaford.
