We open the phone lines to hear listeners’ experiences with vaccine registration.

Councilor Andrea Campbell speaks about the state of vaccine distribution in Mass., and argues for a “Teacher Vaccination Week.” She also discusses the Boston mayoral race, and what running a mayoral campaign during a pandemic looks like.
