BOSTON (CBS) – The state is partnering with CVS Health and Walgreens to distribute the COVID vaccine, starting with eligible Phase One residents. Starting this week, 10,000 vaccine doses will be delivered to at least 15 pharmacies.
Massachusetts is one of the first states to partner with pharmacies, according to Baker’s records.
Locations 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.
About 40 vaccination sites will be added the week of Jan. 25 through this partnership and others, including Wegmans, Big Y, Price Chopper, Stop & Shop and Hannaford.
