Governor Lamont Announces Approval of Moderna’s COVID-19 Vaccine in Connecticut
(HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Ned Lamont today announced that he has directed the Connecticut Department of Public Health to add Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine to the state’s ongoing vaccination program following a recommendation from the Governor’s COVID-19 Vaccine Advisory Group’s Science Subcommittee that it be authorized in the state. The co-chairs of the subcommittee expressed in a report that it has full confidence in the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s approval process and has no concerns about it moving forward.
The governor said that Connecticut is expecting to receive about 63,300 doses of the Moderna vaccine this week. This comes in addition to 31,200 doses of the previously approved Pfizer vaccine that have been delivered to the state since Monday, and another 24,375 doses of that company’s vaccine that are anticipated to arrive this week.
Under this first phase of Connecticut’s vaccination program, the vaccine is being administered to healthcare workers and medical first responders, as well as staff and residents of long-term care facilities.
“This is another important step forward in getting this vaccine to as many people in our state so that we can better manage this disease and prevent its spread,” Governor Lamont said. “We’re doing everything we can to get as many doses to the people who need it most, and over the coming days and weeks we expect our supply to significantly grow.”
