The city of Hartford and St. Francis Hospital have teamed up to get people vaccinated at multiple neighborhood spots.
James Watts, a Black man who lives in Hartford’s North End, came to one of the two new clinics on Monday -- the Parker Memorial Community Center on Main Street.
Watts, 74, was able to receive the vaccine as part of the 65-74 age group that’s eligible for the shot.
“I’m thinking I’m going to live a little longer,” he said. While Watts chose to get the vaccine, he said he has some friends and family who aren’t sold on it. “Some of them figure that the vaccine came so soon, so it hasn’t been tested.”
