WESTPORT Ellen Johnston was surprised on Monday when she learned she would be eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine beginning March 1.
“I didn’t think it was probably going to be until May,” said Johnston, the head coach and director of competitive swimming for the Westport Weston Family YMCA.
She said she doesn’t expect the vaccine to change her behavior or plans at all. She will still follow all of the state’s COVID guidelines, and coaching doesn’t give her much time for plans outside of the pool.
