Vaccinations Begin Among Berkshire Frontline Medical Workers

3:11 The first COVID-19 vaccinations in Berkshire County were given Thursday at Berkshire Health Systems locations in Pittsfield, North Adams and Great Barrington, Massachusetts. BHS spokesperson Michael Leary says around 470 employees were administered the first of a two-part injection series. “We had asked through a companywide staff wide survey as to who would be willing to accept the vaccine, he explained. The vast majority of those people who responded did say yes, so we started scheduling them right away.” Distribution is based on the state’s tiered system, starting with those in the 1A category. “That is frontline workers who are in the most vulnerable, higher risk areas such as the emergency departments at our hospitals and our North Adams campus, the Urgent Care location that we operate, as well as our ICU and our COVID units,” said Leary.
