Connecticut residents who are 75 and older can now schedule a COVID-19 vaccination appointment on the state’s central registration website or phone line, both of which opened up on Thursday.
For now, vaccination appointments are only opening up to residents who are 75 and older. It is not yet clear when the other groups in Phase 1B, which Gov. Ned Lamont formally expanded on Thursday, will become eligible to make appointments or receive the vaccine.
The online portal — which can be accessed at https://portal.ct.gov/Coronavirus/COVID-19-Vaccination---75-and-older — allows eligible residents to book appointments at a variety of locations, including local health departments, Bristol Hospital, Stamford Hospital and Trinity Health of New England hospitals such as Hartford’s Saint Francis.
