Congratulations Mayor Ganim on supporting access to COVID vaccinations. I registered with VAMS but the only location that they put forth was in East Hartford and I was not that desperate so let it pass this week. Then I heard from someone that they were just leaving for Shelton to the Griffin Distribution site with phone # 203-433-3394. Within ten minutes of the call I was able to make an appointment next Monday in the AM at a convenient time.
They also booked me in for the second shot four weeks later at this time. I am in the 1-B group over age 75 and with some material health history.
I am thankful that efforts at providing product are bearing fruit to us rather than frustration. This reference is made available to you in a neighborly way as I tried the phone number above earlier and made no progress towards scheduling though got to speak with a nice person. Best health to you. Time will tell.
Any Connecticut resident who is 75 or older can schedule an appointment to get vaccinated by going to YNHH’s vaccine scheduling website, by calling 1-833-ASK-YNHH (275-9644), or by signing up with the state’s Vaccine Administration Management System (VAMS).
New Haven has set up a wait list for seniors between 65 and 75 years old to get Covid-19 vaccines that would otherwise go to waste.
Right now the state is vaccinating people over 75 (as well as first responders and medical workers). The next step will be to vaccinate people between 65 and 75.
But sometimes the day ends with doses that were not administered and would therefore be thrown out. So the health department has established a standy list of people in the next category of recipients. People on that list may get called at the end of the day to come use the otherwise-wasted doses.

Senator Moore wrote a letter to Commissioner of Public Health Deidre Gifford in an effort to come up with better solutions to vaccinate people in Bridgeport, Connecticut’s most populist city. Moore added that Bridgeport does not have a health director which means no one is assigned to ensure its community gets information regarding the COVID-19 vaccine or how to make an appointment.
