The VA Connecticut Healthcare System said the vaccine is available for enrolled veterans who are 50-years-old and up.

They said essential workers enrolled for care with VA are eligible for vaccine.

Andy Slavitt, the White House senior advisor on the COVID-19 response, said on Friday there are delays in vaccination distribution due to the weather conditions across the United States. Slavitt announced that despite the weather conditions, five new vaccination sites would be opening.

Masks and physical distancing are required and patients should not bring anyone to the clinic if possible.

Enrolled veterans who are vaccinated at this clinic will receive the second dose on Saturday, March 13.
