BRIDGEPORT Normally draped in his trademark richly colored suits when out and about, Councilman Ernie Newton is publicly baring an arm for a cause.
“I’m here today to get my shot because I believe that this will help us not spread the disease,” Newton says in a video posted online on Facebook over the weekend.
With some minorities hesitant to receive the two-dose coronavirus vaccinations, Newton, a longtime Black community leader and politician, recently pledged to promote his inoculation in order to convince constituents it is safe to do so.

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.
