Public health officials deciding Connecticut’s next round of COVID-19 vaccine recipients are considering vulnerable people living in multi-generational households.
Governor Ned Lamont’s COVID-19 vaccine advisory panel discussed federal recommendations for priority groups over Zoom this week.
Tekisha Dwan Everette is executive director of Health Equity Solutions, Inc. She says she disagrees on the federal recommendations to focus only on people age 75 and older for the next vaccine priority.
“I think it ignores a huge group of people who will otherwise die if they don’t get this, and at best, quite frankly, spread to a whole bunch of other people who will have poor outcomes,” Dwan Everette said.
