Dear friends and neighbors,

While the initial press release from the Governor's office stated that the 65+ would be allowed to make appointments as of Thursday, Feb 11, I am hearing first hand that VAMS and most providers are allowing 65+ to make appointments NOW.

Sincerely,

Harry Arora


Dear friends and neighbors,

Here is the news many of our seniors have been waiting for. CT residents age 65-74 will be eligible to make an appointment for the COVID vaccine starting this Thursday, February 11. Vaccinations for individuals over the age of 75 and those within phase 1a will continue.
 
Here are three ways to make your appointment:

  1. VAMS online system: VAMS is the Vaccine Administration Management System and can be used to schedule appointments at multiple clinics across the state. To make an appointment using this system, click here.
  2. Call Connecticut’s COVID-19 Vaccine Appointment Assist Line: Connecticut’s COVID-19 vaccine appointment assist line is open from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., seven days a week. To make an appointment, call 877-918-2224.
  3. Schedule directly with a hospital system or pharmacy
  • Hartford HealthCare: Hartford HealthCare has multiple locations throughout the state, including large clinics in the Hartford area. To make an appointment using this system, click here.
  • Yale New Haven Health: Yale New Haven Hospital has multiple locations throughout the state, including large clinics in the New Haven area. To make an appointment using this system, click here.
  • Stamford Health: Stamford Health is operating a clinic seven days per week at Stamford Hospital. To make an appointment using this system, click here.
  • Walgreens: Walgreens is currently offering the vaccine at 12 different locations and will soon be adding many more across the state. To make an appointment using this system, click here.
  • CVS: CVS is currently offering the vaccine in four locations (Colchester, Putnam, Waterford, and Windsor Locks) and will be expanding to 12 more locations in the next week. To make an appointment using this system, click here.
  • Walmart: Walmart will be offering the vaccine at seven locations across the state (Hartford, New Haven, North Windham, Norwalk, Torrington, Waterbury, and West Haven). To make an appointment using this system, click here.

Based on the number of seniors in this category and the number of vaccines CT gets every week, everyone will be able to get a vaccine within a few weeks. All vaccinations will be appointment only, no walk-ins allowed. If you need help, please do not hesitate to email me or give me a call at 203-571-9325.
