BOSTON (CBS) – Hundreds of COVID-19 vaccine doses are still being thrown out and wasted in Massachusetts, but not as often as earlier this year.
The I-Team obtained updated records from the Department of Public Health showing a total of 1,631 doses have been thrown away.
WBZ-TV first reported last month that between December and February 17, 1,204 doses had been wasted. New records show another 427 doses were thrown away between February 18 and March 11.

As of Wednesday, 1,335,709 people have been fully vaccinated.
