Pushed back a day due to the snowstorm, the mass coronavirus vaccine clinic at the Reggie Lewis Center in Boston s Roxbury neighborhood opened for people with appointments at noon Tuesday.
All appointments that were made for the original opening day on Monday, Feb. 1, at the Reggie Lewis Track and Athletic Center at Roxbury Community College were automatically rescheduled for next Monday, Feb. 8.
The clinic will operate at about 1,000 appointments per week, Boston Mayor Marty Walsh said. The Reggie Lewis Center is poised to ramp up capacity to become the city s second mass vaccination site, after the first opened at Fenway Park on Monday.

Seniors, educators and everyday workers are among those who will soon be eligible during the second phase of the coronavirus vaccine distribution plan in Massachusetts.
Phase Two started Monday by allowing anyone 75 or older to get vaccinated. They will be followed by people 65 and older, people in low-income and affordable senior housing and those with two medical conditions that put them at increased risk for severe illness.
Those eligible can get vaccinated at one of the state s mass vaccination sites, including Gillette Stadium, Fenway Park, the Reggie Lewis Track and Athletic Center in Roxbury, the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Danvers and the Eastfield Mall in Springfield.
