STAMFORD - Hundreds of COVID-19 vaccinations have been administered in the city, but they are a drop in a big bucket, Mayor David Martin said this week during his weekly address on the virus.
So far, 1,800 medical workers and 350 first responders have been vaccinated. Though it’s good news, it’s less than 2 percent of the city’s population of 130,000, Martin said.
Vaccinations for nursing-home residents and employees have begun, and that group will be followed at some point by teachers and other essential municipal workers, people age 65 and older, and those with multiple health conditions, he said.
