Mashantucket Eastern Connecticut was again a focal point of Connecticut’s COVID-19 vaccine rollout Monday, with Hartford HealthCare executives and a top state official attending a late-morning news conference marking the opening of a mass vaccination site at Foxwoods Resort Casino.
Some 1,000 teachers and school staff had been vaccinated at the site the previous day.
State Attorney General William Tong used the occasion to urge immigrants to get vaccinated, noting they needn’t provide a Social Security number, immigration papers, a passport or a green card before rolling up their sleeves. They need only meet the age standard, currently 55 years or older, he said.
