As walk-in COVID-19 vaccination options continue to open up across Eastern Connecticut, yet another dose avenue will be available soon in Killingly and Norwich by way of a two-day mobile clinic.
The FEMA/UConn Health Mobile Vaccination Clinic will be parked in the Killingly Commons shopping center on April 30 and May 1 for distribution of the Pfizer vaccine to Northeast Connecticut residents 16 and older who have not yet received a dose.
While appointments are encouraged by calling (860) 679-6547, walk-ups will still be permitted at the Dayville location based on availability of the vaccine.
Town Manager Mary Calorio said clinic officials contacted her as part of their efforts to reach “distressed” communities. That state designation, based on a town’s poverty, housing and other demographics, technically no longer applies to Killingly, but placing a mobile clinic in town still made sense.
KILLINGLY Utility crews will be in the Dayville section of town this month conducting a series of electric distribution grid upgrade jobs that includes adding stronger poles, new transformers and “extreme” weather-proof wiring.
The $1.45 million project by Eversource is focusing on Upper Maple Street, where two schools are located; Route 101, which includes the commercial stretch housing the Killingly Commons shopping center; and Sayles Avenue.
“Our job is to ensure customers have the reliable energy they need, especially now during these unprecedented times with many working and learning from home,” said Craig Hallstrom, company president of regional electric operations. “By continuing to make strategic investments like these in Killingly, we’re building a more robust and resilient electric grid that will serve our customers well into the future.”
“COVID kind of took us for a whirl,” Dionne said.
On Wednesday, the yearly toy charity kicked off its distribution in Killingly, Norwich and New London, to ensure children in need have a happy holiday. As people couldn’t wait inside the distribution venues due to COVID-19 precautions, people lined up outside the venues to get toys for their children this holiday season.
In Norwich, Dionne was the first person lined up at 5:50 a.m., and there were about 80 people wrapped around the building waiting to get in when the doors opened at about 9 a.m.
“We’ll get warm when we’re done,” Dionne said.
