A handful of things are different from a few months ago as Megan Cua ’21 boards a Stratford ambulance where she serves as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT). Unlike her time interning prior to COVID, Cua is clad in a N95, eye protection, gloves and a gown. Secondly, Cua is now vaccinated for COVID-19.
A few miles away at Norwalk Hospital, Olivia Bollo ’21 anxiously awaits her first dose of the Moderna vaccine. In a few weeks, she too will receive her second dose and continue her EMT work with an extra layer of COVID protection.
Bollo and Cua are two of just a handful of student EMTs who have received their vaccine. The two join more than 75,000 Connecticut residents who have already been vaccinated, according to a press release from Govonver Ned Lamont.

EUGENE, Ore. – Today marks the beginning of Career and Technical Education Month in Oregon.
Some examples of CTE involve welding, diesel mechanics, health-related fields like nursing and Emergency Medical Technician work, and also careers focused around more artistic fields like graphic design.
KEZI 9 News talked to Grant Matthews, vice president of CTE and workforce development at Lane Community College.
Matthews said in the past, a lot of these industries have been recession-proof and many have not only survived the pandemic but thrived. He also made a point to mention these are not just careers for people fresh out of high school but for anyone looking to switch careers or bolster their skill set.
