  • As of Monday night, the Vaccine Appointment Assistance Line run by United Way/211 has scheduled 438 appointments for the Pratt & Whitney mass vaccination site.

  • Phase 1b will be rolled out in a new tiered approach.
    • This approach ensures that the implementation is done in an equitable way, with vaccine distribution points focused in areas where residents and communities have barriers to access and care.
  • Until directed by the State or your employer, you are not currently permitted to schedule a vaccine appointment, even if you are eligible within Phase 1b.
