In an effort to reach out to the government to discuss the management of vaccine deliveries, the Massachusetts-based company has signed on with PAA Public Affairs Advisors, which has registered seven staffers to work on the file: Steve Van Groningen, Julie Groleau, Susan Cui, James Anderson, Felix Wong, Michael Von Herff and Noah Niznick.
