Some big decisions are about to happen with the rollout of the COVID vaccines here in the United States. The feds are making recommendations, but it will be up to the state of Connecticut who gets the shots first.
The state has been making battle plans since October. Waiting is the hardest part in this pandemic.
Representative Josh Elliott, a Democrat from Hamden, is on a state task force meeting weekly to figure out how the vaccine rollout will work.
“Pfizer has told us that even though they can’t distribute the vaccine yet they have 10 million doses ready to go in the U.S. right now.”
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) decides whether the COVID-19 vaccine can be authorized for emergency use.
Dr. William Petit a Republican from Plainville on the state’s scientific subcommittee, will review the FDA’s work.
