LYME/OLD LYME — We have just received an email from Ledge Light Health Department (LLHD) Director of Health Stephen Mansfield, which states, “Effective immediately, all LLHD sponsored clinics will vaccinate individuals 65 years and over. Eligible residents can register for a LLHD clinic by following this link.”
He notes that this week LLHD will hold clinics Wednesday, Feb. 10, in in New London and Friday, Feb. 12, in North Stonington.
Mansfield adds, “At the Governor’s news conference tomorrow afternoon, Governor Lamont is expected to announce that 65+ expanded eligibility starts on Thursday, Feb. 11. The age 65-74 population in CT is approximately 350,000 individuals.”
He continues, “However, because there is some appointment availability this week prior to Thursday, we [LLHD] will begin offering appointments through VAAL and VAMS to those 65+ beginning tomorrow.”
