How many vaccines has MA distributed?

4,022,836 total cumulative doses administered and reported
458,278 have been administered in the last 7 days
4,619,870 cumulative doses that have been shipped to Massachusetts
The Companion Program?
The companion program was created in order to help caregivers of people 75+ get vaccinated. This program is only allowed for people who accompany those who are 75+ at a mass vaccination site. Companions cannot be vaccinated retroactively. We immediately saw that there were many people who were trying to take advantage of this program and there were many concerns about scams and putting seniors in unsafe conditions. I’ve advocated to tighten the eligibility to actual caregivers or relatives to avoid these obvious problems that arose immediately.
