Mass Vaccination Site Opening At Hynes Convention Center Thursday

BOSTON — The Hynes Convention Center will become the state's newest mass vaccination site Thursday as it ramps up to eventually replace the Fenway Park site.

Hynes will have a soft launch Thursday and open in earnest Monday. CIC Health will continue its operation of the mass vaccination sites in Massachusetts.

Fenway Park will continue vaccinating people through March 27, four days before the Red Sox are scheduled to open the baseball season there.

Hynes will be administering 1,000 doses a day next week and officials hope that number eventually increases to 9,000 per day.

It will be open from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Like all vaccination sites, an appointment is required.
