PITTSFIELD â Gov. Charlie Baker praised local vaccination efforts as he met with Berkshire Vaccine Collaborative leaders and local officials at a site tour and news conference Thursday.
More than 5.3 million total doses have been administered in Massachusetts, with more than 49 percent of Berkshire residents receiving at least one dose, slightly above the state average of 48 percent.
Baker called the stateâs phased distribution plan âquite successfulâ in its ability to administer doses efficiently, and he pointed out that the state ranks first in the nation for total doses administered per capita among states with more than 5 million people.
Today, Governor Baker and Lt. Governor Polito will join Pittsfield Mayor Linda Tyer and other local leaders to tour the Berkshire Regional Collaborative vaccination site in Pittsfield, and provide an update on COVID-19 vaccination.
