The polls that show so many Republicans around the country resisting COVID-19 vaccines is certainly discouraging for those of us who believe a healthy and fulsome vaccination regimen is crucial to getting the country back to normal.
I am happy to report that every single legislator in eastern Connecticut, Republicans and Democrats alike, responded in an informal survey I made this week that they have started or completed vaccination or are scheduling a shot.
They all spoke encouragingly about vaccination in their responses, a sign, I d say, of healthy pandemic leadership.
Republican Doug Howard of Stonington disclosed he had to put off vaccination for a while because he had COVID.
