Posted on: January 4, 2021 - 5:10pm

January 4th- As of this morning, the CDC reported 149,900 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine had been delivered to locations within Connecticut.  Of those vaccines, 75,946 had been administered to residents.  This represents a 232% of last Monday's total and 2.13% of the state’s population.  Only seven states and the District of Columbia had a higher percentage of their population vaccinated.  Nationwide, 15.42 million vaccines had been delivered and 4.56 million had been administered.

Today, the Governor announced over 85 active sites are administering the vaccine.  Retail drugstores are expected to be added in approximately three weeks.  

The Governor’s Vaccine Advisory Group meets tomorrow.  They are expected to make a final recommendation for qualification criteria and the process for Phase 1B.  The current schedule for Phases are as follows:

Phase 1A:                                            December through January

Phase 1B followed by Phase 1C:        Late January through May

Phase 2:                                               June through December
