BOSTON (CBS) – The state is partnering with CVS Health and Walgreens to distribute the COVID vaccine, starting with eligible residents in phase one. From this week, 10,000 doses of the vaccine will be delivered to at least 15 pharmacies.
According to the Baker administration, Massachusetts was one of the first states to partner with retail pharmacies.
The sites 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 make an appointment here.
Around 40 vaccination sites will be added the week of January 25 through this partnership and others, including Wegmans, Big Y, Price Chopper, Stop & Shop and Hannaford.
