*	37 percent of its population between the ages of 65 and 74

 

Those who are currently eligible to receive the vaccine under Connecticut's
COVID-19 vaccination program include all individuals over the age of 65, as
well as all healthcare personnel, medical first responders, residents and
staff of long-term care facilities, and residents and staff of select
congregate settings. Over the coming weeks, eligibility will expand based on
age according to the following schedule:

 

*	March 1, 2021: Expands to ages 55 to 64
*	March 22, 2021: Expands to ages 45 to 54
*	April 12, 2021: Expands to ages 35 to 44
*	May 3, 2021: Expands to ages 16 to 34

 

In addition, the program will expand in March to include preK-12 school
staff and teachers, as well as early childhood providers, all of whom will
be provided the vaccine at dedicated clinics specifically set up for those
workers.
