Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont said that as of Monday, April 26, the state has administered 1,830,227 first doses, while 1,256,915 residents have completed the vaccination series. Healthcare officials have administered a total of 2,978,724 doses, including the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

The numbers show that 90 percent of seniors over the age of 65 have received at least one vaccination, while 66 percent of all adults 18 and older have received at least one shot.

Lamont noted that more and more sites statewide are accepting walk-up appointments, including more than 50 locations in 26 different Connecticut municipalities. The suspension of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine has also been lifted following a brief pause.

In an effort to promote vaccinations, Lamont also announced a new program that will permit anyone who shows their vaccination card to receive a free drink at select restaurants between Wednesday, May 19, and Monday, May 31.
