I want to thank the membership at VFW Post 1018 for the use of their post. I would also like to thank the team at the VA Boston Healthcare System for bringing the vaccine to our veterans in their communities. For more information, please visit https://t.co/QFI7FJ3LfR. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s open between 10am and 1pm, and it’s first come, first served. Those who attend this clinic will have their second dose scheduled for March 13. — PolitiTweet.org

The State also has a new 2-1-1 Mass Vaccine Scheduling Resource line for older adults who can’t access the website. Translators are available. We encourage people to keep checking https://t.co/XVUCibIvMu and register as soon as you are able. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Individuals 75 and older who are having trouble with the site are encouraged to call 3-1-1 to get connected to @AgeStrongBos. They can help answer questions & navigate options. — PolitiTweet.org

Ultimately, the State runs vaccine distribution, but we’re continuing to advocate on behalf of Boston residents, and we’re helping the State increase equity in this process. The City is also stepping in to help people navigate the registration system. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We need to think about the barriers that stand in people’s way: like lack of transportation options, language barriers, or inability to take time off work. That’s why the City is pushing for greater access, and doing what we can to make sure that this process is equitable. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We need to increase vaccine access in the communities that have been hit hardest by #COVID19 and the economic fallout. We need to make sure that people of color have access to it. We need to make sure that low-income and immigrant communities have access to it. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

Several vaccination sites are up and running in the @CityofBoston. They include the Reggie Lewis Center at @SeeRCC in #Roxbury, @FenwayPark, multiple sites operated by community health centers, and 5 pharmacy locations. By the end of the week there will be 8 pharmacy locations. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor Marty Walsh @marty_walsh

We continue to work with the State on the vaccine rollout. People ages 75 and older are eligible to get the vaccine, as well as everyone who was eligible in Phase 1. Full schedule at https://t.co/XVUCibIvMu. — PolitiTweet.org
