Lino Monge gets his vaccination shot Wednesday at the Casa Otonal senior apartment complex.
New Haven has set up a wait list for seniors between 65 and 75 years old to get Covid-19 vaccines that would otherwise go to waste.
Right now the state is vaccinating people over 75 (as well as first responders and medical workers). The next step will be to vaccinate people between 65 and 75.
But sometimes the day ends with doses that were not administered and would therefore be thrown out. So the health department has established a standy list of people in the next category of recipients. People on that list may get called at the end of the day to come use the otherwise-wasted doses.
To get on the list, call 203 – 946-6999.
