NORWALK, Conn. — The Norwalk Health Department has vaccinated more than 2,700 Norwalk citizens against COVID-19, and none have had an adverse reaction, Norwalk Communications Manager Josh Morgan said Tuesday.
Mayor Harry Rilling became one of those citizens Tuesday, getting vaccinated the same day as Gov. Ned Lamont staged his own inoculation. While Lamont’s event was timed to convey Lamont’s confidence in the vaccine yet a willingness to wait his turn, Rilling, 73, said he became eligible last week when the State expanded phase 1b of its vaccination program to include individuals between the ages of 65 and 74.
