Description

Press release from the Town of Tewksbury: January 25, 2021 The Commonwealth of Massachusetts continues to distribute COVID-19 vaccine in accordance with its Three Phase distribution plan that started in December 2020 and will continue through June 2021. Each phase has different tiers within it. The plan is based upon guidance from the CDC and the MA COVID-19 Advisory Group. The State has entered the third tier of immunizations within Phase 1 of the distribution plan. Currently, hospital personnel, persons living in long term care facilities, first responders such as Police and Fire, and congregate care facilities are being immunized. The third tier of Phase 1 includes home-based health care workers such as visiting nurses and home health aides. The state has designed this plan to address populations that are at the most risk of complications such as COVID-19. While we understand there are many people with questions and who want to be vaccinated, the Town must follow the State's vaccination plan. The Town does not have a supply of the vaccine but is working on plans on how residents will access the COVID-19 Vaccine according to the state's phased distribution plan.
