HARTFORD, Conn — Hartford healthcare workers will receive their second dose of the covid-19 vaccine today as the state continues to roll out phase 1B vaccinations.
The second dose of the vaccine means the group of healthcare works will be fully immunized against COVID-19.
State officials say they are confident they will continue to receive the second dose of the vaccine on time for those vaccinated with only one dose at this time.
But they do need to see an increased supply of the initial doses in order to meet demand as we progress more into phase 1B which includes many more people.
The phase also includes people who are 65 and older.
Anyone between the ages of 16-64 with a CDC co-morbidity
Individuals and staff in congregate settings
Frontline essential workers
At this time you cannot make an appointment. Only if you are 75 years old or older.
Hartford Healthcare plans to vaccinate up to 2,500 patients per day with clinics around the state in places like Norwich, Torrington, and the Hartford Convention Center.
