Dozens of new CVS sites capable of administering the COVID-19 vaccine will be making booking arrangements starting Saturday in Massachusetts.
The additional 34 vaccination sites join 51 stores already activated in the state, bringing the total number of CVS Pharmacy locations in Massachusetts that administer a vaccine to 85.
CVS initially announced its opening on Thursday as Massachusetts continues to create more accommodations to speed up vaccinations. The state has also launched a pre-registration website, allowing all adult residents to sign up for a waiting list regardless of whether or not they qualify under state guidelines. They will not be contacted to make an appointment until they are eligible.
CVS says its stores are receiving more shipments of the vaccine and eligible residents will be able to make appointments for final dose allocation starting Saturday. These arrangements include availability for educators and staff.
The news comes because the US delivered more than 100 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines on Friday, with 35 million people fully vaccinated.
