NEW BEDFORD The new vaccination center on New Bedford s waterfront vaccinated 1,100 people on Saturday, many of whom work in the fishing industry, according to Greater New Bedford Community Health Center leadership.
Noelle Kohles, chief nursing and clinical operations officer at the health center, said there were about 1,200 appointments on Saturday and that most belonged to workers from the fishing industry.
Cheryl Bartlett, CEO of the health center, said all the fish house businesses encouraged their workforce to sign up or signed them up directly through the health center.
The city s stated focus for the new center is workers in the fishing industry, of which there are about 6,200, according to a 2019 report from the New Bedford Port Authority.
NEW BEDFORD Last summer, you may have walked down to Pier 3, picked up a lobster roll or clam cakes from the city s new clam bar, The Whale s Tail, and enjoyed your meal while watching commercial fishing vessels maneuver around the port.
Whether that can happen again is up to the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection. The agency is currently reviewing the New Bedford Port Authority s application to change the authorized use of the 208-square-foot shed in which the clam bar sits from water-dependent, industrial use to restaurant use.
Edmund Coletta, press secretary for MassDEP, said in an email that the use of the shed for a restaurant has not been authorized and will not be authorized unless and until a license has been issued. Last summer, the clam bar operated without the necessary state authorization.
