Coronavirus Update-Vaccines & Case Data

February 11^th-

Wilton Vaccine Clinics

Today, we held first and second dose vaccine clinics at the Episcopal Presbyterian Complex (WEPCO). We are grateful for the generosity of these faith communities.  

Next week, we are holding two closed second dose clinics for residents aged 75 and up.  Social Services is reaching out to appointment holders to inform them of the change in location to WEPCO.

If we hold a future first dose clinic, we will notify residents by e-alert, as we did yesterday.

• 580,432 vaccines administered, 417,644 first doses and 162,788 second doses.

• 13% of those aged 65 to 74 have received a first dose, primarily because they reside in a congregate facility.
