Massachusetts announces vaccine access plans, governor slams Trump administration and RFK Jr. [View all]

Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey announced the state will be taking measures to ensure vaccines remain accessible to everyone, criticizing the Trump administration and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s cuts to public health across the country.

The governor directed the Division of Insurance and Department of Public Health (DPH) to require insurance carriers to cover vaccines recommended by the state DPH, not the CDC.

These vaccines include COVID, flu and RSV, along with vaccines for children like measles, chickenpox, mumps and Hepatitis B.


"Bottom line, no one in the great state of Massachusetts is going to be denied because of cost. No one," said Healey.

Healey said Massachusetts cannot trust the federal government anymore.
