MONTVILLE, Conn A new mass COVID-19 vaccination clinic opened inside Mohegan Sun Casino’s convention center on Friday with organizers anticipating giving up to 300 inoculations on day one.
The state partnered with the Mohegan Tribe and Yale New Haven Health to operate the large-scale vaccination site in order to meet the public needs concerning the COVID-19 pandemic.
“With this pandemic, it’s been hard on everybody,” Jeff Forster, of Old Saybrook, told FOX61 News before getting the vaccine. “So, if there’s a possibility to stop this madness, I think everybody should be on board.”
