The vaccination clinic at Concord-Carlisle Regional High School was activated from Jan. 15-17, assisting first responders from six towns in getting the COVID-19 vaccine.
Overall, 420 people – firefighters, police officers, EMS personnel, school nurses, council on aging directors and social work staff from Concord, Carlisle, Bedford, Lincoln, Maynard and Sudbury -- received the first shot of the Moderna vaccine.
Concord Health Director Susan Rask told the Board of Health on Jan. 20 it was successful.
“It really was our trial run to see if we could make it work,” Rask said. “We had a few little hiccups but we worked them through and we got some ideas for how to make it more efficient next time. I feel like it was a success and I feel good about it.”
