Greenwich Hospital and Yale New Haven Health, in partnership with Brunswick School, opened a public vaccine clinic on the Edwards Campus at 1252 King Street on Monday, Jan. 25.
Vaccinations are by appointment only. Connecticut residents may make an appointment on the Yale New Haven Health website: ynhhs.org/covidvaccine More appointments are being added as the vaccine is made available to ensure a sufficient supply for all patients.
“We’re happy and eager to be of help to our community during this national emergency,” Head of School Thomas W. Philip said.
“And we’ve been so impressed with how professional and thorough every representative of Greenwich Hospital has been in the many meetings we’ve had to prepare for this initiative. We’re indeed fortunate to have an institution such as Greenwich Hospital in our community.”
In the state of Connecticut, phase 1B officially began last week with the vaccinations of residents 75 and older who are not living in nursing homes. For more information on the phased rollout schedule, please visit ynhhs.org or the state’s website: portal.ct.gov/Coronavirus/COVID-19-Vaccination---Phases.
“Our goal is to be able to vaccinate up to 1,000 people a day, safely and quickly, at this new site,” said Diane Kelly, president of Greenwich Hospital. “We’re extremely grateful to Brunswick’s staff for allowing us to make this a reality so quickly.”
Yale New Haven Health patients who reside outside of Connecticut are eligible to receive the COVID vaccine in Connecticut if they qualify for vaccination under Connecticut's guidelines.
