Gov. Ned Lamont said during a Monday press briefing that Connecticut could receive 20,000 doses of a COVID-19 vaccine by mid-December — which would be a couple weeks earlier than the state’s vaccine advisory committee previously anticipated.
“We are going to get vaccines. We are going to get it before the end of the year, the middle of December, Dec. 14 is the date they are hoping for for Pfizer,” Lamont said.
Lamont said that the state could see 20,000 doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine around Dec. 14, with another 20,000 doses of the Moderna vaccine potentially arriving about a week later.
