Massachusetts cities most affected by the coronavirus pandemic have gotten additional state aid, including nearly $834,000 for four Central Massachusetts cities for mobile vaccination and other efforts.
Fitchburg, Framingham, Leominster and Worcester, the four largest Central Massachusetts cities by population, were given a share of $4.7 million in state funding given to 20 cities that have been hardest-hit by the pandemic.
The money will cover mobile vaccine programs, though no starting dates are set yet for the Central Massachusetts cities. Other funding will help create neighborhood outreach events to support vaccine appointment registration, and money that will help cities collaborate with community partners, including health providers, in outreach efforts, as well as additional staffing for vaccine clinics.
Fitchburg received $152,370, Framingham got $192,517, Leominster was given $150,432, and Worcester took in $338,378.
