| Newton MA News and Politics BlogThe Newton area was on deck to soon get two new vaccine distribution centers at the former Boston Sports Club on Wells Ave and the TripAdvisor headquarters in Needham.

The state has been constrained by the supply of vaccine.  In recent days the governor announced that they would concentrate on funneling the supplies they have to the already existing bigger distribution sites rather than expanding the vaccine distribution network via the areas hospitals.

In response, the TripAdvisor site run by Newton-Wellesley Hospital and the Wells Ave site run by Beth Israel Lahey Health have both announced that they are shelving their plans, at least for the time being.
