READING, MA — The town is monitoring the availability of COVID-19 vaccines and preparing for the eventual vaccination of the public in Phase 3. There will be a "large-scale" vaccination of residents, and officials say they are working to ensure that doses are efficiently given when they arrive in Reading.
Phase 2 vaccinations are scheduled to begin in early February. Reading will offer clinics for all teachers and school department staff in Phase 2, officials say.
The town previously vaccinated first responders as part of the rollout earlier this month. Information about future clinics and how to schedule vaccination appointments will be available here.
