BOSTON (CBS) – More healthcare workers in Massachusetts can now get the coronavirus vaccine. Governor Charlie Baker announced Thursday that all groups in Phase 1 of the state vaccination schedule are immediately eligible for the shot.

“Today we are moving forward with the process of including all groups in Phase 1 of the state vaccination plan, including home carers and uncovidated health workers,” he said. “These groups are now eligible to receive vaccines.”

The state has already begun vaccinating coronavirus health care workers, first responders, and community care workers such as prisons and emergency shelters.

Those eligible can schedule appointments at over 150 locations across the state, including the first mass vaccination center in Gillette Stadium.

Those who do not come into contact with patients, such as back office workers, remote workers, and laboratory researchers, are not part of Phase 1, the state said, and should wait until they are eligible for Phase 2 or 3.
