Vaccine Appointment Chaos. The Massachusetts vaccine appointment finder website crashed at 8am today as 1 million new people became eligible to get their COVID-19 vaccination. A state spokesperson said they are working on the problem and appointments will be available soon. Are you impressed with the Commonwealth's vaccine roll out plan? Have you gotten your shot yet?

Should teachers be moved up in the vaccination priority line as the unions suggest or should they wait with everyone else for their turn?

Is this a practical idea?
