COVID-19 Vaccine for Child Care Providers

As of March 1, 2021, child care workers in currently-operating programs will be eligible to schedule an appointment for the COVID-19 vaccine. Read Governor Lamont’s press release from February 22, 2021.

Now what?

Make sure you are prepared for what comes next. Although the vaccine becomes available to Family Child Care Educators in Connecticut on March 1, there may be some logistics still being worked out. According to the Office of Early Childhood, the state is creating specific sites for child care providers and educators to receive the vaccine and a representative from your local health department should contact you within the first week of March.
