Worcester Medical Director Dr. Michael Hirsh says testing and being vaccinated are probably the best gifts that families can give each other this year.
“I feel like this is the best Christmas present I could have got,” said Worcester resident Serenity Jones.
“Thanksgiving was really awkward," Jones said."I had to sit at a separate table, I couldn’t hug my parents.” Rapid tests are hard to come by right now, and people in Boston say they wish testing was more readily available as long lines continue in Massachusetts. On Monday, people waited for hours in freezing conditions to get tested at Tufts Medical Center in Boston.
“Even my primary care doctor couldn’t take us, so this was a blessing,” Kristin Esper, of Westboro said.
