New London Connecticut College planned to have initial doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine administered to 500 students Tuesday, and expects that more than 90% of the student body will have received two doses by the time the spring semester ends in mid-May.
Community Health Center personnel delivered the shots at the college’s Athletic Center.
“I feel like at this point, I want campus and life to get back to normal, and this is a step in that direction,” Sydney Cresta, a 20-year-old freshman from Swampscott, Mass., said after getting a shot. “A lot of people got it elsewhere, but this is so accessible.”
