As a business reporter, I write about small businesses opening and closing, manufacturing, food and drink, labor issues and economic data. I particularly love writing about the impact of state and federal policy on local businesses. I also do some education reporting, covering colleges in southeastern Connecticut and regional K-12 issues.

For Eric Arlia, pharmacy director of systems for Hartford Healthcare, part of the reason why Connecticut has been doing well with giving COVID-19 vaccines is because of cooperation in both planning and action.
“For example, if there is a particular population that the state is trying to get vaccinated, they will let us know, and we do what we can to help, and I’m sure systems do the same thing,” Arlia said.
According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Connecticut has the fourth-highest percentage of COVID-19 vaccines taken among states, at 50.66%, according to a USA Today article published Tuesday. In terms of vaccines given locally, this appears to follow the trend.
