Norwich Lt. Gov. Susan Bysiewicz thanked municipal leaders, senior centers and health centers, such as United Community and Family Services, for the state’s top ranking in vaccinating eligible residents and third-place status in testing for COVID-19 infections.
During a visit to the UCFS health center at 47 Town St. on Wednesday, Bysiewicz said 338,859 Connecticut residents had received a first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine as of Monday, and 86,285 had received second doses. Statewide, 45% of residents age 75 and over have received at least their first dose.
“We are very excited to be the best vaccinated state in the country, Bysiewicz said, and the third top testing state in the country, which is also really critical to keeping people safe and healthy.”
