Governor Lamont announces Connecticut remains on track to expand COVID-19 vaccine eligibility to all adults on Thursday, April 1

More than 100 more pharmacies in Connecticut added to Connecticut vaccination program

(HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Ned Lamont today announced that the state of Connecticut is on track to expand its COVID-19 vaccination program to the last group of adults, including all people aged 16 at 44, Thursday April 1. , 2021. People in this age group will have access to appointments from Thursday morning.

To make an appointment, Connecticut residents should visit ct.gov/covidvaccine and enter their postal code in the space provided. From there, they will receive a list of the nearest available clinics and instructions on how to make an appointment at each clinic. Those without internet access can call the Connecticut Vaccine Appointment Helpline at 877-918-2224. The hotline is available seven days a week from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Appointments are required in advance at all immunization clinics in the state.

16 and 17 year olds are reminded that they should only register with a clinic that offers the vaccine manufactured by Pfizer, as it is the only vaccine at this stage that has been approved for these ages by the US Food and Drug. Administration.

Connecticut is currently ranked second in the country in the percentage of the population who have received at least one dose.

“Connecticut health care providers have done a tremendous job getting the vaccine to our residents, and the reason our state is among the most vaccinated in the country is because of the remarkable work they have done,” Governor Lamont said. “As we prepare to expand vaccine eligibility to the last group of adults on Thursday morning, there is going to be an initial wave of people trying to make appointments in the first two days, similar to what we have known when we have extended to others. age groups. I urge everyone to be patient and come back as new appointments are added every day. Thanks to the efforts of the Biden administration, the number of doses delivered to Connecticut is increasing dramatically every week, and I’m confident that over the next month we will deliver the vaccine to anyone who wants it.

“With the recent increase in cases in Connecticut, it is essential that anyone who wants a vaccine gets one as quickly as possible,” Connecticut Acting Public Health Commissioner Dr Deidre Gifford said. “I am extremely proud of everyone involved in our immunization program – the federal government, our local health departments and community partners, our vaccine providers, the National Guard – and I am grateful for the leadership of Governor Lamont and of his team, all of whom have helped accelerate vaccine delivery to Connecticut and make tomorrow’s final expansion possible for all adults. Thanks to everyone’s efforts, we are now able to deliver the vaccine to all adults months ahead of schedule. While the general availability of vaccines is cause for celebration, we also need to remember to keep our guards against the spread of COVID-19. Even after being vaccinated, you should continue to wear masks, avoid large gatherings, and test and isolate if you are sick. “
