We need to make sure that we re reaching populations in these specific areas to get back in here, said Anne Horbatuck, Vice President for Ambulatory Services for UConn Health.
Horbatuck mentions that preparation for patients second shot begins as soon as they show up for their first dose and then continues once they leave.
