We are in the middle of vaccine role out in Connecticut. At this time none of our offices have the capability to administer the vaccination. You do not need a doctor’s prescription or referral for vaccination. Our practice recommend following the CDC and State guidelines for vaccination as below. As always we are open to any questions you may have. We have compiled reliable information regarding some frequently asked questions here.

WHEN CAN I GET MY VACCINE?

At this time the vaccination schedule is set by Connecticut government in consultation with healthcare experts in the state. Vaccination schedule is being carried out in phases. The idea is to vaccinate the high risk individuals initially and then move towards the low risk individuals.
