The state of Connecticut will soon add more COVID-19 vaccination sites to its phone registration system, after concerns that the phone line wasn’t meeting the needs of all residents by only providing appointments at East Hartford’s Rentschler Field.
Dr. Deidre Gifford, the state’s acting public health commissioner, said at a Monday morning press briefing at the Rentschler site that in “the next couple of days” the state will add three additional sites to the call center’s roster — for a total of four sites at which residents can book vaccine appointments by phone.
“We understand that there have been some challenges in the appointment making,” Gifford said.
