3 Additional Stamford Pharmacies To Offer Coronavirus Vaccines

STAMFORD, CT — Over 100 additional pharmacies throughout the state will begin offering coronavirus vaccines over the next several days, including three in Stamford, according to Gov. New Lamont.

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

The three additional pharmacies in Stamford are:

• Shop Rite: 1990 West Main Street, Stamford
• Shop Rite: 200 Shippan Avenue, Stamford
• Slavins Hancock Pharmacy: 922 Washington Boulevard, Stamford

It should be noted these locations will begin offering coronavirus vaccines over the next few days in addition to locations in Stamford that are already distributing vaccines to eligible residents, of which there are a few.

"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 said Wednesday.

The governor urged patience, "as new appointments are being added every day."
