They haven't gotten to certain segments of population. Even to this day, I have not received any vaccine information to my house, with the exception of a single flyer in a utility bill. We knows who's getting sick. We know who they are. Concentrate your efforts in that area. Advertise and introduce longer term vaccine clinics. K-W and Cambridge all have several community centres, pools (with large meeting rooms), arenas, etc. Start using those. No one wants to drive or take transit to The Boardwalk or Pinebush if transportation is difficult for them. Not everyone has access to a decent computer to try to hook up with a pharmacy, not does everyone have a family doctor.
Step 1, perhaps: Do both injections and testing at the old bus terminal. There should be enough space and the location seems likely to be good for many of the populations we need to concentrate on including.
That's a great idea. It's good too if they could use part of the building so walk-ups (and appointments) can get vaccinated as well, as there is plenty of parking and transit option in DTK.
