Weekly Covid-19 Update: Additional Death in Greenwich; Fewest Patients across Yale New Haven Health System Since November

“Whenever we have the vaccine, we are giving the vaccine. We have no wasted doses. We are prepared to go up to 1,000 people a day – all depends on the availability of the vaccine.”

Diane Kelly, President of Greenwich Hospital

Ms Rabin said vaccinations were going smoothly at the Town of Greenwich vaccination sites, and that canceled appointments did not result in wasted doses.

Instead she said, the town was contacting people scheduled for the following day to come in a day earlier.

Ms Kelly said her understanding was that additional doses were on their way to Connecticut, and that the Health System’s processes were set up so that no vaccines were wasted.

“It’s quite humbling and a great honor,” she said. “This is something we have absolutely not seen in our lifetime. To be part of a system that is standing up a mass vaccination effort to literally save lives is humbling and rewarding.

All eligible residents are required to make an appointment in advance of receiving the vaccine. To find available vaccination clinics throughout the state, residents can visit ct.gov/covidvaccine and enter their zip code.
