Pharrell Bright sat in a plastic folding chair in the middle of a gym auditorium at Saint Francis Hospital in Hartford.
The Capital Preparatory Magnet School senior had just received his first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
"I saw a lot of the commercials that the hospital has been posting on TV and through the news and it’s saying, 'get vaccinated, it could save some lives,'" he said. "And I felt like I just heard it enough times that I was like, you know what, maybe it isn’t such a bad thing to do."
Bright, 18, joined other Hartford Public Schools students and their families Thursday at a pop-up youth vaccination clinic at the hospital. The goal was to administer first doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine to some of the state’s youngest eligible residents.
