BOSTON (TND) — Massachusetts has spent nearly $400,000 on “vaccine record reviews” for migrants and other individuals staying in its emergency shelters, according to a state report obtained by the Boston Herald.
The findings came as part of a biweekly report on the shelter system released by state finance officials. The document reportedly disclosed the state has spent $381,000 since September 2023 on immunization review expenses alone.
Vaccination status has become an important metric to state officials looking to keep shelters safe and healthy.
