Chris Lisinski State House News Service BOSTON - In the three-plus months since Massachusetts first began administering COVID-19 vaccines with a phased rollout targeting vulnerable populations, the highly infectious virus s impact on older residents has dropped considerably. The rate of new hospitalizations for adults 60 and older has plummeted by nearly three-quarters since the start of 2021, while the portion of new cases among that age group was nearly cut in half over the same span. Improving health metrics among older residents have been highlighted by Gov. Charlie Baker as evidence that the vaccine, after a sometimes rocky rollout, is working as intended, even as some experts warn that the burden on younger adults is growing with more infectious variants spreading.
