I also wanted to let you know that the City of West Haven is offering energy assistance through the Connecticut Energy Assistance Program, or CEAP. You'll see more details about it below.

I hope you have a great week!

Governor Lamont has issued executive orders to ensure that Connecticut residents have access to COVID-19 vaccines during the upcoming respiratory virus season.
 
For decades, vaccines have been proven to prevent serious illness, hospitalization, and death, and patients and their doctors should be able to decide what is the best course of treatment.

• The Department of Public Health recommends COVID-19 vaccines for everyone 6 months and older
• Pharmacists and providers can keep giving vaccines under the latest CDC guidance
• State law requires most insurance plans to continue covering COVID-19 vaccines

 These steps make sure Connecticut residents can stay protected. Please click HERE for more details.
