Good Evening,
This is First Selectman Vicki Tesoro with an important COVID-19 update:
The Trumbull Health Department is offering a COVID vaccination clinic tomorrow Tuesday, May 11th, at the Trumbull Senior Center, from 9:00 AM-11:00 AM. First and second dose vaccinations are available. The Moderna vaccine will be administered. Moderna is approved for those 18 years of age or older. There is no charge for the vaccination. Please bring a valid ID to the clinic.
Covid vaccinations are effective at keeping you from getting COVID-19. People are considered fully protected two weeks after their second dose of Moderna.
If you or a family member are interested in receiving a vaccination, please come to the Senior Center tomorrow between 9:00 AM-11:00 AM. This is a walk-in clinic, no appointment is necessary.
As you know, all individuals in Connecticut 16 years of age and older are eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
If you are 16 or 17 years old, you will need to schedule an appointment for the Pfizer vaccine. This is the only vaccine that has been approved for this age group at this time. If you are in need of an appointment, contact 2-1-1 for a listing of available clinics or call 877-918-2224.
For more information about vaccination clinics including walk-ins please visit the Town Website.

Free COVID-19 Drive-Thru Testing is still being offered by Griffin Hospital, on Mondays from 9:00 AM to 1:30 PM at Unity Park, on Unity Road.

Key Provisions of the American Rescue Plan Act
Congress passed the American Rescue Plan Act in March. Besides relief to individuals and businesses, this relief package includes funding for states, cities, other local governments, and also emergency relief funding for schools. The Town of Trumbull and the Trumbull schools will receive emergency funding under this plan. The exact amount of these allocations is not yet known and there still remains questions as to how the Treasury Department will allow these funds to be used. Once we know the information we will share it with you. https://himes.house.gov/coronavirus
