Saturday And Sunday Mark Last Days Reserved For Teachers Only At Massachusetts Mass Vaccination Sites
BOSTON (CBS) - This Saturday and Sunday mark the last of four dates Massachusetts designated to educators only at mass COVID vaccination sites.
Massachusetts currently has mass vaccine sites at Eastfield Mall in Springfield, Natick Mall, Gillette Stadium, Doubletree Hotel in Danvers, Reggie Lewis Center, the former Circuit City in Dartmouth, and Hynes Convention Center.
The previous dates that were exclusive to teachers only at the mass vaccination sites were March 27 and April 3.
According to Secretary of Health and Human Services Marylou Sudders, about 25,000 appointments were available exclusively for educators at the seven sites during this span.
Most elementary school students in Massachusetts returned to class this past Monday for full time, in-person learning. According to the state's Department of Education, 930 elementary schools across Massachusetts went back fully in-person this past week.
