That means the pause on the rollout will remain in effect for now. Pharmacies like CVS are alerting patients who recently received the shot to give them more information about the decision to stop handing out the vaccine.
Despite the loss, the state says it is still on track to fully vaccinate two million people by the end of this week. State data shows more than 1,875,000 people have been fully vaccinated.

Massachusetts hit another grim milestone as the state has now surpassed 17,000 deaths caused by the coronavirus. But now there might be one less thing grieving families will have to worry about when laying their loved one to rest.
