Vaccine hunters’ dash for leftover doses highlights rise of gray market
Mounting public eagerness to score a COVID-19 shot has spawned a gray market for vaccinations in Massachusetts in which people who show up at the right place and the right time can get their dose even though they’re not yet eligible.
The state has detailed guidelines for who’s allowed to get a COVID-19 shot — mostly people 75 and older, health care workers, and first responders — though there are major loopholes. For people anxious to get their shots as soon as possible, that translates to a constant watchfulness for clinics with “extra” doses.
