Nearly a month since Connecticut opened COVID vaccines to everyone 16 and older, vaccination rates among people living in underserved communities are still lagging compared with the rest of the state.
Data released Thursday shows about 38 percent of people living in ZIP codes identified by the state as vulnerable communities have received at least one dose of a vaccine. Meanwhile, about 50 percent of the state’s population overall has received at least one shot of vaccine.

Remember live music?
While many world-renown musical acts are cautiously optimistic about announcing tours for late summer and definitely fall, the key word is cautiously.
It is important to keep the word “tentative” in the back of your mind while purchasing tickets, even if the date promoted on a given venue’s website might not be so bold as to place it there.
The safer bet as we emerge from the darkness that is was the pandemic seems to be the tribute act. They are an ambitious lot, often playing as close to 365 days a year as possible and, that being the case, are the perfect guinea pigs. For some it is supplemental income working in a tribute act even a labor of love. For others, though, being the lead singer in a Tom Petty tribute band or Bon Jovi is the day job, and it’s been a lot of days since they got to play.

It’s not October, but ghosts are popping up across the state. And rather than spooks and screams, they’re bringing food straight to your door.
If you’ve been perusing your delivery apps and noticing places you’ve never heard of with no discernible restaurant dining room, chances are you’re ordering from a ghost kitchen.
