BOSTON  — The state of Massachusetts is teaming with CVS Health and Walgreens to distribute the COVID vaccine, starting with eligible Phase One residents.

The Baker-Polito Administration announced that beginning this week, at least 15 CVS Health and Walgreens, located in areas of Massachusetts where there is currently less access to convenient vaccine sites, will receive a total of 10,000 COVID-19 vaccines to administer this week. Massachusetts is one of the first states to team up with retail pharmacies.

The locations are in Greenfield, Fall River, Salem, South Yarmouth, Pittsfield, Lee, Holden, Gardner, Hyannis, Mashpee, Somerset, Fairhaven, Haverhill, Saugus, and Danvers. They were picked because these areas currently have “less access to convenient vaccine sites,” the state said.

About 40 vaccination sites will be added the week of Jan. 25 through this partnership and others, including Wegmans, Big Y, Price Chopper, Stop & Shop, and Hannaford.
