NEWS on COVID-19 in Connecticut: ‘The dawn of a new day:’ Hartford HealthCare administers Connecticut’s first doses of COVID-19 vaccine
“Hartford HealthCare administered its first doses of the recently authorized COVID-19 vaccine in a public ceremony Monday morning, beginning a months-long process of vaccinating Connecticut residents.
‘It’s the dawn of a new day,; said Jeffrey Flaks, CEO of Hartford Healthcare, before the vaccinations began. ‘We cannot wait to start the process.’
Hartford Hospital received 1,950 doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine around 9 a.m. Monday and began administering them to health care workers less than two hours later.
Dr. Ajay Kumar, Hartford HealthCare’s chief clinical officer, was the first in the state to receive the vaccine, around 10:45 a.m.
‘This is a momentous time for all of us,’ Kumar said. ‘We’ve been working very hard to contain and manage the pandemic so far, and this is one more huge and significant step forward.’”
