ConnectiCare Hosts Coronavirus Vaccine Clinic In Shelton Thursday

SHELTON, CT — Health care company ConnectiCare will host a COVID-19 vaccine clinic in Shelton from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Thursday at its facility at 876 Bridgeport Ave.

The Shelton clinic is one of three ConnectiCare is hosting in Connecticut on Thursday, with the other two in Waterbury and Manchester. The Connecticut Department of Public Health Mobile Vaccine Van will be on-site at the Shelton clinic.

Connecticut's state universities are requiring full vaccinations for all college students before they return to school in the fall, and the Thursday clinics are designed to help with that, according to ConnectiCare.

In an email to Patch, Lauren La Chance, public relations manager for ConnectiCare, said that the clinics are being set up to help "encourage and increase vaccinations for college students and other Connecticut residents."

People 12 years old and older can receive either the Pfizer or Johnson & Johnson vaccine at the clinic Thursday, and those who receive the Pfizer one will receive an appointment for the second shot three weeks later.

"Appointments are encouraged, and walk-ins may be accepted based on availability," said La Chance about Thursday.
