NORWICH - Norwich Free Academy teachers, staff and administrators were the latest group of Eastern Connecticut school personnel to receive COVID-19 vaccinations, courtesy of a mass clinic that planned to put shots into 185 arms on Friday.
The clinic, inside the school’s Norton Gymnasium, came together through the efforts of NFA and the Nutmeg Pharmacy in Taftville with school nurses helping to give first-dose shots of the Moderna vaccine to waiting staffers.
NFA Director of Office Communications Michael O’Farrell said by day’s end about 95% of the school’s roughly 300-member staff would have received their first vaccination dose, a number that included employees who sought out and received shots on their own.
