Massachusetts to implement the schedule for the remaining groups

If you are not yet able to get a COVID-19 vaccine in Massachusetts, you will find out when you are going to do it.

Government Charlie Baker tweeted on Tuesday night that his government would announce on Wednesday morning a schedule for when all the remaining groups in the state vaccination are eligible to sign up for an appointment.

“Every resident will know when they are eligible for a vaccine,” Baker said.

Our administration will announce the schedule for all remaining groups in the MA vaccine plan tomorrow morning. Every resident will know when they are eligible for a vaccine.

Thank you for making your MA a national leader in the vaccination effort!

Baker’s tweet comes after officials in neighboring Connecticut announced Monday that the state will accelerate its implementation to allow all residents over the age of 16 eligible for a vaccine appointment from April 5, after the federal government issued a expected significant increase in vaccine. offer in the coming weeks.

President Joe Biden declared last week that all adults in the United States must be eligible by May 1st. And while Biden said that does not mean everyone can make an appointment right away, he also promised to enlarge the country. the vaccine supply by the end of May has enough doses for all American adults.

Massachusetts is currently halfway through phase 2 of the state’s three-phase implementation. Residents over the age of 65, individuals with multiple health conditions, and K-12 school and child care center employees are eligible to receive a vaccine, in addition to more targeted Phase 1 groups.

The deployment has yet to be extended to the last two Phase 2 groups: certain workers likely to be exposed to COVID-19 and individuals with one qualifying medical condition. Since the plan was first set out in December, officials have said that Phase 3, when the election is available to the rest of the general public, will begin in April.

Last week, after pressure from lawmakers, Baker’s administration introduced a pre-registration system that allows residents to provide basic information and receive a notification when an appointment is available to them.
