COVID-19 vaccines may now be administered by certain Connecticut licensed health care professionals, according to the Connecticut Department of Public Health (CT DPH).
“The Department is interested in gathering information regarding individuals who are interested in volunteer or paid opportunities,” the CT DPH wrote in an email sent to health care professionals. “This information will be shared with providers who are hoping to expand their workforce to participate in mass vaccination efforts.”
Permitted professionals now include all physicians as well as physician’s assistants, nurses, nurse midwives, pharmacists, podiatrists, dentists, dental hygienists trained to administer anaesthesia, veterinarians, and some EMTs with specific training.
