DARIEN The state’s rollout process continues to frustrate some in Darien, as firefighters have yet to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
Though other towns included their fire departments in Phase 1A, Darien’s three volunteer fire departments Darien, Noroton and Noroton Heights are not classified as medical first responders, thus currently do not qualify to get the shot.
