(AP) – Hawaiʻi officials say thousands of residents are expected to have access to COVID-19 vaccines when the state opens mass vaccination centers on Oʻahu. The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported the state plans to begin providing vaccinations beginning Monday at Pier 2 in partnership with Hawaii Pacific Health. The Queen’s Medical Center is expected to operate a large-scale vaccination clinic a week later at the Blaisdell Center in Honolulu. Officials hope to administer up to 100,000 vaccine shots this month and up to 150,000 doses monthly in February, March, April and May.
