Gov. Ned Lamont on Friday announced the full membership of Connecticut’s recently formed vaccine advisory group, which will help guide the state in distributing an eventual COVID-19 vaccine, with a particular focus on addressing existing health disparities and prioritizing vulnerable communities.
Lamont announced the existence of the group on Sept. 21, but at the time said only that the group would be co-chaired by Acting Commissioner of Public Health Dr. Deidre Gifford and CEO of Trinity Health of New England Dr. Reggie Eadie.
On Friday, Lamont filled out the roster and announced the 20 total members of the main advisory group, along with the dozens of members on the advisory group’s three subcommittees.
