Mashantucket While the number of COVID-19 cases surges in southeastern Connecticut, the disease continues to be held in check on the Mashantucket Pequot reservation, according to the tribe’s chief medical officer, Dr. Setu Vora, a pulmonologist who has experience with infectious diseases.
Few cases have been detected among the tribe’s 1,100 members, Vora said Friday, and none has been fatal.
Late last month, the tribe began administering its first 200 doses of the Moderna vaccine, first inoculating members of the Mashantucket Pequot Fire Department and then tribal health care workers, tribal police officers, tribal elders and tribal councilors. In the weeks ahead, the tribe plans to make the vaccine available to the rest of the tribe and to employees of Foxwoods Resort Casino, the tribe’s economic engine.
