BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts school districts are stepping up their efforts to vaccinate eligible students before the end of the school year.
The Telegram & Gazette reports that nearly 300 students signed up for Worcester’s first at-school COVID-19 vaccine clinic Tuesday at Worcester Technical High School.
Clinics are scheduled for other city high schools later this week. Students who receive a vaccine this month will be able to get their second dose in school next month.
A Barnstable County Public Health nurse tells the Cape Cod Times the county hopes to administer up to 1,200 first doses in area schools by early June, starting Thursday with a clinic at Monomoy Regional High School in Harwich.
