BOSTON (AP) — The second phase of Massachusetts’ coronavirus vaccine rollout Monday is being disrupted by a winter storm that is causing schedule changes and at least one vaccination location shutdown.
The Reggie Lewis Center in Boston’s Roxbury neighborhood, which was supposed to open Monday as a mass vaccination site for residents age 75 and over, will not open because of the storm, the Boston Public Health Commission announced.
Appointments that were scheduled for Monday will automatically be rescheduled for Feb. 8, the agency said in a tweet.
Mass vaccination sites at Gillette Stadium and Fenway Park are open, but with some changes, according to CIC Health , which is operating both sites.
The Fenway Park site opened an hour early, and people with morning appointments were asked to show up an hour early. People with afternoon appointments were asked show up in the morning.
The Gillette Stadium site opened, but anyone with an appointment scheduled after 3 p.m. will receive an email to reschedule for later this week.
“In case of closures due to winter weather, vaccination locations will reach out to individuals with appointments to reschedule,” the state said in a statement. “If you cannot safely get to your appointment, you can reschedule.”
