More vaccine distribution news
Feb 15, 2021 Health Update on Vaccine Distribution
Today’s front page Globe story highlights the problems with the vaccine rollout plan for people with disabilities who can’t get to vaccine clinics. (Yes that is our esteemed friend & colleague Dennis Heaphy on the front page!). It follows on a related story last Friday on the narrow definition of medical conditions that will qualify people under 65 for the vaccine in the next phase of the roll out. Tuesday on Feb 16, 2021, disability advocates will be hosting a forum on vaccine distribution at which the Secretary is expected to attend.
