Patients 65 and older received Moderna s COVID-19 vaccine. Leaders said they have the resources to give out additional shots and all they need is more supply. With multiple COVID-19 vaccines now available, the differences in their efficacy rates can be confusing and misleading. If you re wondering if one vaccine is better than another and whether you should hold out for one with higher efficacy TikTok s favorite scientist Dr. Noc is here to clear things up.

VERNON, CT Eligible local Veterans had a chance to get their first doses of the coronavirus vaccine as Vernon s pandemic tour of local organizations made a stop at American Legion Post 14 Wednesday.
About 50 vets and their families who were eligible under the Connecticut Department of Public Health guidelines received their shots. It s part of the town of Vernon making the vaccine available to all who need it, Mayor Daniel Champagne said. A lot of people want to live their lives again. They just want to get back to normal.
We feel it is extremely important to keep our community engaged in their local government and by voting in a safe and effective manner is one way of doing that, Town Administrator Michael Purcaro.
Tuesday s vote approved a $471,450 appropriation from the general fund balance toward the project, which is estimated to cost $1.5 million in total. A state School Construction Grant will cover another $1,028,055.
