Mayor Domenic J. Sarno states, “It is time to take the bull by the horns. Although I am very thankful to Governor Baker and Lt. Governor Polito for their partnership and commitment to Springfield and Western Massachusetts by placing this mass vaccination site in our city – the operational logistics by Curative must improve. Commissioner Clapprood and I have directed our dedicated SPD units to the Eastfield Mall to tell Curative to get our seniors and those individuals waiting in line for their vaccination to go inside and out of the cold. SPD will work with the National Guard, who the Governor and Lt. Governor have recently dispatched to provide assistance, to assure that our beloved seniors are taken care of and are not waiting outside in the cold weather and that they are reassured that they will not lose their place in line.”
