State officials said there are roughly 170,000 children in that age group that will now be able to get a shot.
“The vaccine is safe, effective, and saving lives,” Governor Lamont said in a statement. “Expanding the vaccination program to this age group is going to be incredibly beneficial in terms of getting our schools back to normal and encouraging safe, summer enrichment activities.”
Many pharmacies are offering the Pfizer vaccine, including CVS, Walgreens and RiteAid locations. CVS said they will be scheduling for the new age group in 45 locations in Connecticut. Children must be accompanied by an adult.
The state also plans to work with local health and school districts and summer youth programs to make the vaccine easily accessible.
