The COVID-19 vaccine distribution journey is a marathon, not a sprint. There is no charge for the vaccine. The state is working on solutions for seniors struggling with online access. For those with no barriers to online access, the mass.gov website has a link to Martha’s Vineyard Hospital to sign up for a vaccine. Any senior who has visited Martha’s Vineyard Hospital will be contacted for an appointment. Contact Rose with questions or concerns.
Please remember how much we miss you, how we wish you well, and are looking forward to your returning to the Oak Bluffs Council on Aging in person.
We thank you for the opportunity to be of service to you. Happy Mother’s Day! Happy Memorial Day!
