NORWICH During the city s weekly COVID meeting, issues related to vaccines were brought up, specifically about the distribution, and how to register the latest recipients, people over the age of 75.
Uncas Health District Director of Health Patrick McCormack said there have been issues with getting elderly individuals registered to receive the vaccine. People are asked to pre-register before going to a site to make sure that all doses in vaccine vials are used. Many residents in the 75 and older age range lack a computer or a smart phone, so it’s harder for them to access the mostly online registration system, and people have needed to been registered on site with help.
