Here’s where everyone stands in the Massachusetts coronavirus vaccine rollout plan.

Massachusetts plans to have 165 vaccination sites available by mid-February and has moved older adults ahead in receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.

Gov. Charlie Baker said Monday that people age 75 and older will now be in the first priority group in Phase 2 of the distribution plan, which starts Feb. 1. Those 65 and older and individuals with two or more comorbidities will now be in the second priority group, in keeping with guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Gov. Charlie Baker details new vaccine sites in the state and releases new timeline for when residents can receive it.

The administration said the state currently has the capacity to administer 242,000 doses of vaccine per week, more than the 173,000 first and second doses it expects to receive from the federal government this week.

New mass vaccination sites also are opening in Springfield on Jan. 29, Danvers on Feb. 3, and Boston in the first week of February.

The race is on to vaccinate as many people as possible, but some Massachusetts residents are expressing frustration over the state's registration website.

But how do you sign up for the vaccine and find a vaccine site near you?
