The Reservoir nursing home in West Hartford was among the first long-term care facilities in Connecticut to begin vaccinating its residents against coronavirus.
After front-line health care workers and nursing home residents receive the COVID-19 vaccine, a broader class of “essential workers” – including teachers, first responders, correction employees and postal staff – should be next in line for the shot, along with people 75 and older, an advisory panel to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recommended.
Connecticut last week began vaccinating health care workers and nursing home residents. A shipment of roughly 31,000 immunizations from Pfizer was divided among the state’s hospitals and some long-term care facilities. Following federal approval of the Moderna vaccine on Friday, Connecticut is expected to get 63,300 doses of that immuniz

CONNECTICUT Connecticut s first day of coronavirus vaccine rollout went smoothly after weeks of planning brought the state to the anticipated moment. I m sure there will be challenges. I m sure there will be dry ice issues, but so far day one and the preparation for this over the last couple of weeks has been pretty effective, Gov. Ned Lamont said at a news conference.
Lamont anticipates getting 129,000 vaccine doses by the end of next week and 500,000 by the end of January. Two doses are required for Pfizer s vaccine. An emergency use authorization from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is also expected for Moderna s vaccine candidate that vaccine also requires two doses.
