Fenway Park To Become Mass Vaccination Site

BOSTON — The home of the Red Sox will be where thousands of people will get vaccinated against the coronavirus.

Gov. Charlie Baker on Tuesday announced Fenway Park will become the state's second mass vaccination site, joining Gillette Stadium, which started vaccinating people this week.

Fenway will open Feb. 1 and start by inoculating 500 people per day before ramping up to 1,000 people per day. It is expected to be open through the planned beginning of the baseball season into early April.

Gillette is working to vaccinate 1,000 people per day with an eye toward 5,000 people per day.

Several more mass vaccination sites are planned at unknown locations.
