Friday is the deadline for states to submit their coronavirus vaccine distribution plans to the federal government. Although Gov. Baker has said that health care workers and nursing home residents will likely be the first groups to receive the shots, the details of the distribution plan in Massachusetts are yet to be revealed. Meanwhile, advocates for Black and Latino communities, non-medical essential workers, low-wage workers, and more are pushing to ensure the final version is equitable. To discuss, Jim Braude was joined by Michael Curry, Deputy CEO and General Counsel of the Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers, who serves on Governor Baker’s COVID-19 Vaccine Advisory Board and is Chair of the state’s Health Equity Task Force.
