Coronavirus vaccinations will soon be underway — and Connecticut officials are aiming to vaccinate the entire state by early fall 2021, according to acting Public Health Commissioner Dr. Deidre Gifford.

“We are hopeful that by the early fall, we will have everybody who wants to be vaccinated to have received the vaccine, both doses,” Gifford said at a Thursday press briefing.
