More COVID-19 vaccination sites are coming online in Worcester as the city continues to receive limited doses.
During a COVID briefing on Thursday, City Manager Edward Augustus Jr. outlined sites where eligible members of the community could receive the vaccine, however, regular appointments at many of the locations aren’t available due to uncertain dose quantities.
“I want to caution folks that there are not set times. They are not set allotments, so it’s going to be a little haphazard,” Augustus said. “But there are going to be availabilities on a regular basis. Folks should continue to check.”
