Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker said Friday that he thinks President Joe Biden s objective of having all adults eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine by May 1 and allowing people from different households to gather by July 4 is absolutely doable as long as the vaccine supply ramps up over the coming month. No matter how you do the math, we re one of the top vaccinators as a state in the country, Baker said. Within a matter of days, every dose we get from the feds ends up in somebody s arms. If the feds can actually deliver on the vaccine supply issue that we ve all been talking about the message we keep getting is we re just a couple weeks away I think getting to the president s objective is absolutely doable. But it s going to require a significant increase in the available supply to be able to deliver that kind of volume over a reasonably short period of time.
