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