BRIDGEPORT Emergency management officials said they have strengthened vaccination distribution with a more user-friendly registration system and more sites for shots, but are still falling far short of the doses they need.
“We had a meeting with the state last night. We were getting a minimal of 500 vaccines a week,” Scott Appleby, director of emergency management, told City Council members Wednesday during a teleconference.
