Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Seniors have been at the greatest risk for infection and death. So why would they have to wait longer for the vaccine? It doesn't make sense.

Governor Baker we urge you to revise your plan and include ALL MA residents 60+ years of age in phase one. The vaccines are available. There is enough inventory to do more than one specific group at a time.

According to The Washington Post‘s vaccine distribution tracker, Massachusetts is 26th in the country when it comes to the number of people per capita who have gotten their first dose, lagging behind New York and the other New England states. And while the federal government issued new guidance this week urging states to expand the pool of individuals who can get a vaccine, Gov. Charlie Baker you are defending a regimented approach that leaves many seniors out of phase one. The Seniors of Massachusetts urge you to give them the shot in the arm they need NOW!
