U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal has been visiting various vaccine centers around the state lately, including visiting the FEMA van in Bridgeport. On his mind now for vaccinations is seeing how the “boots on the ground” are doing, and if they’re prepared for the continued vaccination effort.
“We’re going to go from a scarcity to an abundance in the amounts of vaccine,” Blumenthal said. “Soon, it will be a problem not of shortages, but of delivery.”
Blumenthal visited United Community and Family Services (UCFS) in Norwich on Monday, to see how its vaccinations are going, and to see where the federally qualified health center will spend the more than $3.35 million it has received as a part of the American Rescue Plan. Recipients of this funding get it in two payments, and it can be used for vaccine distribution and other pandemic-related expenses and initiatives.
