New York residents ejected from vaccine appointments at Waterford CVS

About 10 people who had made appointments at a Connecticut CVS to get the coronavirus vaccine were ultimately not allowed to be vaccinated because they did not live or work in the state.

The director of the Ledge Light Health District said a site inspection on Thursday at a Waterford CVS found a group from New York waiting to be vaccinated, The Day reported.

To be eligible for the vaccine in Connecticut, a person must be age 75 or older, a medical worker or first responder, a resident or worker at a long term care facility — and live or work in the state.
