Coronavirus Vaccination Site To Open In Waterbury

WATERBURY, CT — A drive-through COVID-19 vaccination site will open Jan. 25 at Post University's Country Club Road campus. The vaccination site is a joint venture between the university and Waterbury HEALTH.

The next phase of Connecticut's coronavirus vaccine rollout commenced Monday, and residents 75 and older can now register online for their vaccine. Once registered, participants in the Vaccine Administration Management System will be emailed guidance for the appointment process for receiving the vaccine.

This public clinic is expected to bolster greater Waterbury’s ability to quickly get shots into arms of citizens. The site plans to administer 500 doses per day during its first week and up to 2,000 vaccines a day based on vaccine availability.

"We are working closely with the Waterbury Hospital healthcare teams and following their guidelines for administering the vaccine to eligible Phase 1B individuals. Distributing vaccines to residents is a critical part of getting our community back to normal," Post University CEO & President John L. Hopkins said in a statement.

The vaccine will be administered free of charge.

You can sign up for the vaccine at Post University by going to Waterbury Hospital's site.

Residents are strongly encouraged to sign up through the Waterbury HEALTH vaccine site. Those who do not have internet access can call 203-575-5250, Ext. 4 to register for an appointment.

Patients must register for the vaccine. Vaccines are by appointment only and based on availability.
