Although the Baker administration has described the vaccine rollout as bumpy, a senior state Department of Public Health official said last Wednesday that a target to make doses available to the general public starting in April is still in play.
Kevin Cranston, DPH s assistant commissioner and director of the department s bureau of infectious diseases and laboratory sciences, said during a virtual panel discussion that the original timeline unveiled last month remains reasonable. I do believe that s reasonable. We re well along our path, Cranston replied when asked if the April target for more widespread vaccine availability could still be achieved. Given the efficiency of the process to date, I actually believe those are reasonable timeframes.

Even though a Cambridge-based company created one of the leading COVID-19 vaccines, the city doesn t have its own inoculation site nor does it have access to more doses amid a state-wide shortage.
In fact, the city, one of the largest in the state, was recently capped at 100 weekly doses, as were other Massachusetts municipalities.
So just three days before the Phase 2 rollout Feb. 1, in which residents 75 and older are prioritized, questions heavily outweigh answers.
Some confusion seems to be around the city s role in the rollout. In several communications, the Cambridge Public Health Department stressed that neither the city nor the health department have any control over the vaccine supply. Everything is funneled through the federal government. The fact that Cambridge doesn t have a vaccination site yet has more to do with the supply shortage.
