In consultation with stakeholders, the Connecticut Department of Public Health has set the schedule for state agencies, including UConn, regarding who is eligible for a vaccination and the timetable for distributing and administering the
vaccine. Below, please find the timetable for doing so and the impacted categories of UConn employees.
Please note that there may be new or updated guidance from the state that could alter the timetable or phases and categories of impacted employees. Below is the current plan as it stands today:
