Mr. Harrington commented that Mashpee is participating <br /> in the regional clinics at both the Fairgrounds and Melody Tent sites. The office will be using the <br /> Town's emergency alert system, Blackboard Connect, to notify residents when they can register <br /> for a scheduled clinic. Health Agents are working with the County to get better notice prior to the <br /> registration opening up,which was an issue with the first two clinics,and which will hopefully give <br /> eligible Mashpee residents a fighting chance for vaccinations. The doses are still very limited and <br /> appointments go very quickly, so residents will need to continue to be patient. <br /> Ms. Warden asked if the County administered all 975 doses, and Mr. Harrington answered in the <br /> affirmative,, stating that 600 doses were allocated for the Fairgrounds and 375 were allocated for <br /> the Melody Tent. That is. the weekly allotment. Towns can get up to 100 doses, and Mr. <br /> Harrington tried to coordinate with the VNA to put together mobile teams that could visit smaller <br /> facilities and the homebound. He heard back from the VNA that, because 100 doses is so limited, <br /> those would be better applied toward the regional clinics for now,where the larger labor force is. <br /> 3 <br />
