As states hit a delay in their federal supply of the one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine, Gov. Ned Lamont’s administration on Thursday said college students could go home half vaccinated.

YSN Prep Helps Building 410 Become COVID-19 Vaccination Site
February 11, 2021
Building 410, located next to Yale School of Nursing (YSN), is now a COVID-19 vaccination site run by Yale New Haven Health (YNHHS). The clinic serves the general public in accordance with CDC and state guidance and injected the first vaccine on January 22.
The project is rapidly evolving, but currently YNHHS plans to operate seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. The West Campus site is part of a larger effort by local authorities and health care providers seeking locations for temporary COVID-19 mass vaccination clinics throughout Connecticut.
Converting Building 410, the last empty building on West Campus, into a temporary vaccination site so quickly was possible in part due to the work done by a YSN team headed by Associate Dean for Finance and Administration Marcia Thomas, EDD, MPH last year, to allow for more study and simulation learning space for YSN students.

Patients who were supposed to get their COVID-19 vaccinations through Yale New Haven Health Monday or Tuesday will be rescheduled for later this week, according to an official overseeing the program.
The vaccination sites were closed because of the snowstorm.
“We have a way in our electronic health record to move an entire schedule to a later day,” said Dr. Ohm Deshpande, vice president for population health and associate chief clinical officer. “Everybody will get rescheduled for this week, and that includes the weekend.”
