Connecticut looking into booster shots for older residents


Connecticut officials are looking into the possibility of having to eventually administer booster shots of the COVID-19 vaccines in nursing homes, while also vaccinating new residents and staff who are coming into the facilities without having had a shot, Gov. Ned Lamont said Monday.
About 5% of the nursing home population has been turning over each week in Connecticut. The newcomers are overwhelmingly not vaccinated, said Josh Geballe, Lamont's chief operating officer. As a short-term fix, the state has asked the Connecticut National Guard to vaccinate those new admissions.
“But in the meantime, we’ve also been working with our acute care hospitals to make sure that they’re vaccinating on discharge,” said Geballe, adding that nursing homes have been told they need to have a “vaccination partner” established with a pharmacy or other organization to ensure that the vaccination of new residents and staff is "being done on a sustainable, ongoing basis going forward."
