Gov. Ned Lamont and other officials assured the public Thursday afternoon that they would be able to get access to vaccines for COVID-19 if they wish, despite confusion coming from the federal government regarding vaccine access.

“Don’t hesitate, vaccinate,” was the message from Lamont as he was joined by the leadership of Charter Oak Health Center, where the event was held. He was also joined by commissioners from the state Department of Public Health (DPH), the state Department of Insurance (DOI) and the state Department of Consumer Protection (DCP).
