Today, Governor Lamont announced that Connecticut residents aged 65 to 74 will be able to book appointments to receive the COVID-19 vaccine starting this Thursday, February 11, 2021.

February is Black History Month. For the past 45 years, Black History Month has served as a time to recognize and honor the achievements and contributions of Black Americans in our nation's history. It is a time to highlight and celebrate our many and varied roles in our country’s history.

Please join me today from 6pm to 7pm for a virtual Town Hall on the COVID-19 Vaccine and what parents and caregivers need to know about the shot, including when kids can get vaccinated, what is known about the new strains and the impact of the pandemic on mental health.

The State of Connecticut is expecting about 45,000 COVID-19 vaccine doses on a weekly basis from the federal government. We now know that the State will be taking a tiered approach in Phase 1B as we work to vaccinate the nearly 1.4 million people in the recently updated Phase 1B category.

Please join me on January 19th, for a Virtual Town Hall on the COVID-19 Vaccine with Stamford Health's Director of Infectious Diseases and Microbiology Dr. Michael Parry.
