Wilton COVID Update: Future Clinics, Vaccine & Case Data

Yesterday, Jan. 21, the Wilton Health Department and Visiting Nurse & Hospice of Fairfield County held a vaccine clinic for Phase 1A and those aged 75 and up.  Prior to any future vaccine clinic, Wilton residents will receive notice to help ensure appointments are available to residents. 

CT DPH expects Connecticut will continue to receive only 46,000 vaccines a week for the next several weeks.  The State has begun opening new large scale vaccines centers.  With additional and larger vaccine centers opening, existing vaccine administrators, particularly small ones like Wilton, will likely begin receiving less vaccines than previously received.  

If you are having trouble scheduling an appointment through VAMS, please contact Social Services Director Sarah Heath or Senior Center Coordinator Stephanie Rowe for individualized assistance.  

You can also view Stephanie’s step-by-step instructional video.  The video has gone viral with many first selectmen sharing the video.  Today, CT DPH requested permission to use an edited version of the video.  They plan to remove Wilton specific references, but will give Wilton Social Services credit for the video.  Thank you Sarah and Stephanie for your assistance to residents across Connecticut!

Vaccine and Case Data:

This afternoon, the Governor reported 258,267 vaccines have been administered, 226,930 first doses and 31,337 second doses. 

Wilton and 163 other municipalities remain red alert communities according to a release from CT DPH.
