Mohegan Lt. Gov. Susan Bysiewicz toured Mohegan Sun’s COVID-19 vaccination site Friday, pointing to the Mohegan Tribe’s collaboration with Yale New Haven Health and Lawrence + Memorial Hospital as a prime example of the kind of partnerships that are helping propel the rollout of the vaccines in Connecticut.
The tribe has committed about 20,000 square feet of meeting-room space in its Earth Expo & Convention Center, where YNHH and L+M staffers have been manning scores of vaccination stations since the site opened Feb. 19.

About 350 doses of the Pfizer vaccine were to be given Friday, with 1,000 doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine scheduled Saturday and more than 1,000 Pfizer doses Sunday.
