Town of New Canaan Directed by DPH to Prioritize COVID Vaccine Administration for Local Educators and Staff Written by HH
The Town of New Canaan regrets to announce to residents age 55 and older that vaccinations of New Canaan residents at Lapham Center will be paused for the next several weeks because the Town has been directed by the CT Department of Public Health to prioritize local educators and staff first.
The Town explains, We have been directed to vaccinate all educators/staff of our the New Canaan Public Schools, our three private schools, our 14 nursery schools and daycares for the next several weeks in a closed clinic setting. This was not a decision made by the Town of New Canaan but rather by the State of CT. We fully expect to resume vaccinating our residents over age 55 as soon as the task of vaccinating almost 2,000 educators and staff is completed. So we ask for your patience with the Governor’s plan to prioritize educators first.
