Frontline workers began receiving COVID-19 vaccinations Monday, as the nation battles a second surge of the pandemic that is filling hospital beds and pushing resources to the brink.
A Hartford HealthCare doctor was among the first in Connecticut to receive the vaccine.
Dr. Keith Grant rolled up the sleeve of his white coat Monday as one of the first 14 workers in line for Pfizer’s two-phase shot, which has shown to be 95% effective.
The vaccine was part of the state’s first shipment of nearly 32,000 doses from Pfizer, which has major research operations in Groton.
