BOSTON (AP) – Governor Charlie Baker again defended his administration’s handling of the state’s vaccine rollout efforts during a public hearing Tuesday before a state legislative panel monitoring the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Lawmakers pressed Baker on a range of topics, including the state’s heavy reliance on mass vaccination sites to get shots into arms despite long-standing plans to rely on the state’s local public health infrastructure in a public health emergency.
Massachusetts has already paid more than $4 million to three companies to set up a call center to manage the scramble for coronavirus vaccine appointments, The Boston Globe reported.
