Everyone in the state who is 65 years or older, educators, grocery store workers, manufacturing workers, public transit workers, agriculture employees, state legislators and constitutional officers are now eligible to receive vaccinations.

The first wave of people to get vaccinated included health care workers, first responders, nursing home residents and people 75 years and older.
