Massachusetts residents eligible for COVID-19 vaccination will be able to pre-register for an appointment at their closest mass vaccination center starting Friday.
Gov. Charlie Baker announced the new registration website, powered by Google cloud computing infrastructure, at a Wednesday news conference. The preregistration system is designed to make it easier for residents to secure an available appointment, and we ll soon replace the current process of large numbers of appointments being posted online on Thursday mornings for mass vacination sites, Baker said from a factory in West Bridgewater that was converted to produce personal protective equipment at the start of the pandemic.
