Connecticut expanded COVID-19 vaccine eligibility to everyone ages 16 and up on Thursday, though the state will continue giving priority access to medically high-risk patients.
Officials are opening additional vaccine sites at pharmacies as well as providing time for high school seniors to get their shots. Makes it a lot easier, especially because they re opening it to just the seniors, one student told Eyewitness News. Because a lot of colleges are going to start requiring it soon.
To schedule an appointment, Connecticut residents are encouraged to visit the state s website and enter their zip code in the space provided. Those without access to the internet can call Connecticut s Vaccine Appointment Assist Line at 877-918-2224.
