Massachuetts will begin offering walk-in service at six COVID-19 mass vaccination sites on Monday.
The six sites in Boston s Back Bay and Roxbury neighborhoods, Danvers, Dartmouth, Springfield and Natick will accept residents without an appointment. There s walk-up traffic going on, and a bunch of different locations, Baker said. In fact, a lot of the pop-ups have been operating with walk-up traffic for a while. And I think what you ll see is just an expansion of the existing walk-up stuff as we go forward.
