More than half of Connecticut residents 16 and older have received at least a first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, Gov. Ned Lamont said Monday.
State leaders acknowledged the milestone while continuing to encourage young adults to get the shot. As of Monday, 30% of residents ages 16 to 44 had received a first dose. Though some people in that age group were eligible to receive a vaccine earlier because of their profession, many were only able to begin scheduling appointments two weeks ago.

Can independent primary care doctors survive dominance of hospital health systems?
Cloe Poisson :: C-HIT.ORG
Dr. Khuram Ghumman asks patient Tully Zorick, 5, to hop on one foot during a check up at East Granby Family Practice, LLC where he is in private practice. Dr. Ghumman takes care of the entire Zorick family.
Every day, Dr. Leslie Miller of Fairfield thinks about selling her practice to a hospital health system.
“Everybody who is in this environment thinks every day of throwing in the towel and joining a hospital,” said Miller, a sole practitioner in primary care for 20 years. “The business side is the problem,” she said, referring to expensive and time-consuming requirements of medical insurance and government regulations.
