Gov. Ned Lamont and a top advisor said Monday they're pleased so far with the pace of vaccinations in Connecticut. They noted how staff and residents at two-thirds of the state's more than 200 nursing homes are on track to have received the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine by the end of this coming weekend. To date, 36,276 doses have been administered in the state, mostly to hospital staff and nursing home staff and residents.
