While supply of the vaccine will be limited initially, we do anticipate working to vaccinate vulnerable populations and critical workforce members quickly. In line with ACIP recommendations, the first phase of Connecticut’s vaccination will reach healthcare personnel and residents of long-term care facilities.
According to ACIP, health care personnel are defined as paid and unpaid people serving in health care settings who have the potential for direct or indirect exposure to patients or infectious materials.
Long-term care facility residents are defined as adults who reside in facilities that provide a variety of services, including medical and personal care, to persons who are unable to live independently.

When 63,000 doses of the newly authorized Moderna coronavirus vaccine starts arriving in Connecticut early next week, it will set the scene for wider distribution, because it doesn’t have to be kept at the super-cold temperature of minus-94-degrees-Farhenheit that the Pfizer vaccine requires and only a few health institutions can handle.
