EAST HARTFORD — State officials are making changes to respond to complaints about difficulties in scheduling appointments for COVID-19 vaccine shots.
Gov. Ned Lamont and his top public health adviser acknowledged problems that have arisen since vaccinations for state residents age 75 and older started last week during a news conference Monday morning at the state’s first mass vaccination clinic in East Hartford.
“We understand that there have been challenges in the appointment making. We hear it, and I want everyone to know that our team is on it. We’ve been on it pretty much 24/7,” said Dr. Deidre S. Gifford, the acting public health commissioner.
