The
Randolph Police Department donated 80 coats to Randolph Public Schools to be distributed to kids in need this winter. The winter jackets were purchased using the funds donated by officers participating in the departmentâs annual Fitness Cup event, which is part of an ongoing officer wellness program. Money raised each year is used to support a worthy cause. The Fitness Cup was coordinated by Commander Anthony Marag and Officer Kinnon Ryan, and jackets were distributed to the schools on Dec. 4 by Detectives Kevin Gilbert and Kristin Gagnon and Officer Ryan.
“They ran like clockwork,” White said.
Last week, the department applied to the state Department of Public Health to administer vaccines, when they become available.
White doesn’t believe all of the town’s roughly 36,000 residents will need to use the local clinics, because some will have access to vaccines through other sources, including those who work in health-care settings where immunization are also occurring.
Natick will probably distribute the Moderna vaccine
It’s highly unlikely the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine will be distributed by the Natick public health department because it doesn’t have ultra-cold storage capacity. The vaccine must be stored at -94 degrees Fahrenheit or below, and arrives in shipments of 975 doses, packed in dry ice.
