Vaccination update — pre-register for an appointment
January 15, 2021
Dear resident:
This week saw a big shift in the state’s vaccination strategy.
On Monday I wrote to you about why we needed to revise the strategy to start administering more doses. I called for the Governor to open up eligibility to age 75+.
Thanks to the Governor’s Thursday announcement, going forward:
- Residents age 75+ and education sector employees are now eligible (1B).
- Hospitals, some of which have unused inventory, are now directed to provide doses to 1B eligible residents in the community.
- Additional retail pharmacies will begin administering doses (though this will be very limited to start).
