“11 Massachusetts State Police troopers and one sergeant have been fired for not getting vaccinated against COVID-19, as required by an executive order issued last year, the state police said.
State Police spokesperson Dave Procopio said in an email Sunday the 12 individuals were terminated Friday in the culmination of an internal hearing process.
In a social media post, Patrick McNamara, the president of the State Police Association of Massachusetts, called the firings “shameful.””
