Old Saybrook The road to normalcy for some area teens took them through Old Saybrook on Thursday, where they got their first dose of the coronavirus vaccine at a drive-thru clinic.
The event, targeted at 16-, 17- and 18-year-old students, drew people from all along the shoreline and Connecticut River. Among those who pulled up to the vaccination site was East Lyme High School senior Kevin Mills.
The 18-year-old said his goal in getting the shot was to help end the COVID-19 pandemic so life could return to normal.
For Kevin, that means being able to walk around with no mask on, being able to do stuff without having any specific requirements to follow.

OLD SAYBROOK First Selectman Carl Fortuna said the proposed budget would lower the town’s mill rate and tax burden for the first time in 50 years.
The Board of Selectman voted unanimously this week to approve the $47.1 million budget, which is an increase of 0.36 percent $167,000 from the previous year.
Fortuna said an increase in assessed value in the 2020 grand list meant the mill rate would mostly offset the small rise in the budget.
