NEW HAVEN City officials said they are hoping eventually to vaccinate up to 100 people per day using the COVID-19 vaccine developed by the Massachusetts-based Moderna Inc.
City Health Director Maritza Bond said the city hopes to begin a mass vaccination program which will be done in specific phases in Connecticut in the coming weeks. The city has told state officials it is prepared to administer 100 doses on average per day, but its actual output will depend on how many shipments of the vaccine it receives.
Three locally based agencies, the Mentor Connector, the Turning Point Center and the Homeless Prevention Center, were chosen to receive grants from the Bowse Health Trust, an organization with ties to Rutland Regional Medical Center.
Jamie Bentley, community impact coordinator for the community health improvement team at the hospital, said the COVID-19 pandemic made things different this year causing a delay in the process.
COVID was added to the list of priorities when assessing the applications.
Members of the trust committee use the Community Health Needs Assessment to identify priorities. But the last was done in 2018 before the pandemic.
COVID joined priorities that already had been determined through the assessment like housing and health care; supporting the aging community; child care and parenting; and mental health including substance abuse.
