Type 2 diabetes mellitus
Massachusetts list of conditions that qualify for vaccination in phase 2 is a complete replica of the CDC s above, except it opted to also include asthma (moderate-to-severe).
Now, as Massachusetts makes vaccines available for residents with two or more COVID risk conditions, many residents are trying to figure out if they qualify.
Take Suzy Dolan, a Cambridge resident diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Dolan says the advice from her doctors has been clear since the beginning of the pandemic.
“ ‘If you get COVID, you will get really sick,’ is basically what they said,” she explains.
Dolan also has a second high-risk condition: asthma. At an appointment last week, she asked doctors who help manage her diabetes if she should be vaccinated. They talked about a state form that patients with at least two qualifying conditions will sign, a written way to swear that they are eligible.
In an email to its patients on Friday, Southcoast Health explained the Massachusetts Department of Public Health will no longer send additional first-dose vaccines to hospitals and health systems. The state will re-prioritize and redirect doses to mass vaccination sites, as they have announced two more in Danvers and Dartmouth this week, as well as retail pharmacy sites and community health centers.
“All patients and hospital staff with existing appointments will get their first and second shots, and the administration is hopeful more vaccines will arrive soon for more providers, including hospital systems,” a spokeswoman for the state’s COVID-19 Response Command Center said in a statement to the Boston Globe.
