The State is expected to expand Phase 1b to include all individuals over the age of 65, increasing the number of people to be vaccinated in Phase 1b to over 1,000,000.  New Fairfield First Selectman Pat Del Monaco aimed to temper expectations though, noting that Connecticut is only allocated 44-thousand doses of vaccine per week by the federal government.  Even if the vaccine allocation increases, she says Phase 1b will likely continue for several months. The State is expected to vaccinate those eligible in Phase 1b in waves, beginning with the roughly 270,000 individuals over the age of 75.
