When can we get the vaccine
COVID-19 Vaccines Arrive on Nantucket
December 16, 2020 – They’re here! The first shipment of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine arrived on Nantucket this morning. Tomorrow we will begin vaccinating frontline NCH staff members most closely involved in COVID-19 patient care and testing. Today is a monumental day in our fight against the pandemic. The vaccine is the most important intervention that will help us bring COVID-19 under control and get us back to normal.

Hi Kimberly – the town is responsible for the mass vaccination plan for the community and NCH will be in a supportive role for this effort. They have established a web page for those who believe they would fall into Phase 1 of the Governor’s distribution plan: https://nantucket-ma.gov/2028/COVID-19-Vaccine?fbclid=IwAR2VXAGG90rAcIfrmzhf3eBgRiHcqdhHxRIoxZoeUgFk9Sxg2bJDjI-ppkQ
Hi Adriana – Massachusetts vaccine distribution schedule has been set by the Governor: https://nantuckethospital.org/coronavirus-news-and-information/preparing-for-vaccine/
