GOVERNOR LAMONT ANNOUNCES CONNECTICUT RESIDENTS OVER 65 CAN REGISTER FOR
COVID-19 VACCINATION APPOINTMENTS STARTING THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 11

(HARTFORD, CT) - Governor Ned Lamont today announced that Connecticut
residents over the age of 65 will be eligible to schedule COVID-19
vaccination appointments starting on Thursday, February 11, 2021, as the
state rolls into the next part of phase 1b of its vaccination program.
Vaccinations for individuals over the age of 75 and those within phase 1a
will continue.

With approximately 350,000 individuals in Connecticut between the ages of 65
and 74, and a slightly increased but relatively small weekly supply of the
vaccine being received in the state from the federal government, Governor
Lamont and state public health officials are stressing the need for patience
on the part of Connecticut residents.

Currently, the state anticipates receiving about 60,000 first doses of the
vaccine per week from the federal government.

"In a perfect world, we would receive enough doses of the vaccine to make it
available to everyone in Connecticut right now, however each state is being
given a very limited supply, which is why we need to phase it in and give
priority to the most vulnerable populations," Governor Lamont said. "I know
that people are anxious to receive it, and I will continue advocating for
our state to receive increased allocations in the coming weeks and months."

"COVID-19 has disproportionately impacted older individuals and individuals
in traditionally underserved communities," Connecticut Public Health Acting
Commissioner Dr. Deidre Gifford said. "Now that we've vaccinated the
majority of our highest risk age group, we are ready to move to those over
the age of 65. However, we want to ensure that within this high risk group,
we focus on getting vaccine to individuals within the group who come from
communities that have been hardest hit by the virus, namely our Black and
Latino communities. We are working with our vaccine providers and other
community partners to identify underserved areas and focus vaccine resources
into those areas, including providing transportation assistance and other
solutions to address barriers to vaccine access."

All eligible residents are required to make an appointment in advance of
receiving the vaccine. To find available vaccination clinics throughout the
state, residents can visit ct.gov/covidvaccine
