People with high-risk medical conditions would be allowed to jump the line when the coronavirus vaccine registration opens to everyone over the age of 16 on April 5, but how that will work is still unclear.
Though Gov. Ned Lamont announced Monday the state will accelerate access for those with preexisting conditions, which medical ailments will count and whether it can be handled on a unified, statewide level is still an open question, according to health experts.
“Nothing has been fully fleshed out,” said Ohm Deshpande, vice president for population health and a physician leader for Yale New Haven Health’s vaccination program. “Our goal is to come to some sort of consensus that is not at the level of a health provider or health system. We’d like to be working along the same guidelines.”
