Along with hospitals and large pharmacies on the state’s list of vaccination hubs, local providers also signed up to be COVID-19 vaccine distribution sites. After a confusing set of directives from the state about who can receive the vaccine, these clinics and pharmacies have been inundated with calls from patients about being inoculated.
