Maui Health is beginning to contact about 5,000 people whose vaccination appointments got canceled at the hospital’s vaccine clinic due to the lack of supply.
“We are reaching out to those people directly. If you are one of those people, you should be getting an email from us in the next two weeks on how you can reach back to us to get set up for an appointment,” said Dr. Michael Shea, chief medical director of Maui Health, which operates Maui Memorial Medical Center.
Maui Memorial is not doing the rescheduled appointments via the online Vaccination Administration Management System, also known as VAMS, since they are still not open to the general public, Shea said during a county news conference Wednesday afternoon.

First Selectman Jim Marpe today issued the following update on the COVID Vaccine:
Yesterday, Governor Ned Lamont announced that residents over the age of 65 will be eligible to schedule COVID-19 vaccination appointments starting on Thursday, February 11, 2021, as the State rolls into the next part of Phase 1b of its vaccination program. Vaccinations for individuals over the age of 75 and those within Phase 1a will continue.
Governor Lamont claims that the 350,000 individuals in the 65-74 category should be vaccinated relatively quickly based on the State’s anticipation of 60,000 weekly doses from the federal government. The State is also working with pharmacies, such as Walgreens, CVS, and Walmart, to offer vaccines at some locations. This projection is subject to change due to unknown variables, including vaccine supply distribution to CT and population demand.
