As the vaccine slowly drips through to municipalities across the state, city leaders look at where they could open their own sites for residents.
Springfield houses the only super vaccination site west of Worcester at the Eastfield Mall, which has seen problems with understaffing and overbooking for the Pfizer-BioNTech dose. On Feb. 1, people 75 years old and over were able to book a vaccine at sites across the state. With a limited number of appointments statewide, officials question how many city residents are getting vaccinated at the site.
