CONNECTICUT — Connecticut opened up vaccine appointments to everyone 16 and older on April 1. Gov. Ned Lamont's administration estimates that everyone who wants a vaccine will be able to get one by the end of April or early May.
Where to get vaccinated and sign-up for an appointment
Connecticut has an ever-growing number of vaccine clinics across the state. The state has partnered with the United Way of Connecticut 2-1-1 service to put together a searchable map of locations.
Appointments can be made online anytime or by calling 877-918-2224 between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. seven days a week. State officials caution that the phone line can have long wait times for a few days after a new group of people become eligible.
