As vaccine appointments open to everyone 16 and over in Connecticut Thursday, state officials said more than 100 new pharmacies across the state will start administering the vaccine within the next several days.
With Connecticut officials estimating about half the 1.3 million people age 16 to 44 will rush out for the vaccine, the new pharmacy locations may ease efforts to find appointments as the state works to quickly vaccinate this new group.

CONNECTICUT State officials are warning residents not to be fooled by coronavirus vaccine-related scams designed to rip people off for money.
According to the Office of the Attorney General and the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection, fraudsters posing as COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers Moderna and Pfizer, sent consumers a COVID-19 survey offering rewards for their opinions about the vaccine. To obtain their reward, the consumers are required to provide their credit card information for shipping purposes. While some people may receive emails or texts from their healthcare providers or authorized vaccine providers, those contacts only come after they have signed up for them, state officials warned in a news release. If you receive a contact that seems suspicious, consumers can contact their healthcare or vaccine provider.
