CONNECTICUT Gov. Ned Lamont announced that Connecticut would move to an age-based system for future coronavirus vaccine eligibility. Previously the state was planning for front-line essential workers and people with certain pre-existing medical conditions to be next on the eligibility list.
Pre-K-12 teachers, other in-person school staff, school bus drivers and child care providers will also be eligible March 1 through a separate vaccination program.
The age brackets are as follows:

March 22: Expands to age group 45 to 54
April 12: Expands to age group 35 to 44
May 3: Expands to age group 16 to 34
Lamont cited some complications that occurred in other states as a reason for a simpler system. Around 96 percent of all Connecticut coronavirus-related deaths occur in people over the age of 55, according to the state Department of Public Health.
