CONNECTICUT — CVS will soon begin to administer COVID-19 vaccines to eligible populations on Thursday, Feb. 11 at CVS Pharmacy locations across Connecticut. A total of 12 pharmacies will ultimately give out the vaccine, according to a company press release.
Appointments will become available for booking as early as Monday, Feb. 9 as stores receive shipments of the vaccine, according to a CVS press release.
Supply for the limited rollout in the state, which is connected to the federal pharmacy partnership program, will be approximately 6,800 total doses.
Not all of the 12 pharmacy locations were identified by the company. But CVS did list nine communities that will be participating:
- Avon
- Bristol
- Coventry
- Glastonbury
- Guilford
- Hamden
- Middletown
- North Haven
- Uncasville
As more supply becomes available the company will expand to more locations and offer additional appointments.
"One of our greatest strengths as a company is our presence in communities across the country, which makes us an ideal partner for administering vaccines in a safe, convenient, and familiar manner," said Karen S. Lynch, president and chief executive officer, CVS Health.
"We continue to be grateful for the commitment of our frontline colleagues whose dedication has allowed us to deliver care and peace of mind throughout the pandemic."

Patients must register in advance at CVS.com or through the CVS Pharmacy app, and people without online access can contact CVS customer service: 800-746-7287.
The availability of COVID-19 vaccines in Connecticut is part of an initial 11 state rollout and includes approximately 335 CVS Pharmacy locations across California, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia.
Vaccines will eventually be available at CVS Pharmacy locations throughout the country subject to product availability, with the capacity to administer 20 – 25 million shots per month.
