Gov. Charlie Baker announced Wednesday that the state s distribution will occur in three phases and is expected to start before the end of the month.
The first group will include healthcare workers, people in long-term care, and first responders, as well as inmates at correctional facilities.
The second phase will likely begin in February and targets those with underlying health problems, people over the age of 65 and essential workers like grocery store employees and teachers.
