Pharmacies In Manchester Among Additions To Vaccine Locations

MANCHESTER, CT — An additional 100-plus pharmacies throughout the state will begin offering coronavirus vaccines over the next several days, according to Gov. Ned Lamont.

Two in Manchester are included .

Notification of the expansion comes one day before vaccine eligibility grows to include all residents between the ages of 16 and 44.

"As we prepare to expand vaccine eligibility to the final group of adults on Thursday morning, there is going to be an initial rush of people who attempt to make appointments during the first couple of days, similar to what we experienced when we expanded to other age groups," Lamont warned. The governor urged patience, "as new appointments are being added every day."

The new pharmacies that are being added to Connecticut's COVID-19 vaccination program include:

• Westown Pharmacy, 455 Hartford Road
• Shop Rite: 214 Spencer St.
