Some people seeking the COVID-19 vaccine in Dorchester on Monday were able to get the vaccines, although they did not meet the state’s eligibility requirements, officials said.

“The clinic has suspended vaccinations for this age group and we are adhering to state guidelines before full eligibility later this month,” said the BMC in the statement.
