(HARTFORD, CT) - Governor Ned Lamont today released the following statement:
"In the midst of the most challenging days of the pandemic, Connecticut led the way on bringing down our rate of infection and eventually successfully rolled out a vaccine strategy that saved lives. The health and safety of Connecticut's residents has always been a priority for our administration, and while the federal government may be taking an alarming turn in their vaccine and preventative care policies, Connecticut will continue to lead the nation on immunization. We will do everything we can to protect the public's health and are already partnering with neighboring states. While Washington puts politics over health, we'll be preparing what we must to ensure no one's health is jeopardized in Connecticut."
