The State of Connecticut is expecting about 45,000 COVID-19 vaccine doses on a weekly basis from the federal government. We now know that the State will be taking a tiered approach in Phase 1B as we work to vaccinate the nearly 1.4 million people in the recently updated Phase 1B category.

Scheduling has been opened for individuals in Phase 1B of the vaccination rollout - currently, Phase 1B is set to include individuals 75 and older; certain essential workers; and individuals and staff in congregate living settings.

Connecticut will be the first state in the nation to require all high schools to offer courses on African-American, Black, Puerto Rican, and Latino studies. High schools will be required to offer these courses by Fall 2022.
