Dear BPS Families, 

Beginning today April 1st, all Connecticut residents over the age of 16 are now eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine.  Students age 16 and up may get the Pfizer vaccine (with parental consent), anywhere it is available. Some vaccine providers may require a parent be present at the time of vaccination. (Note: the Bridgeport Health Department does not administer the Pfizer vaccine.) Bridgeport residents age 18 and over may also contact the city’s helpline at 203-576-7993 to make an appointment.  For more information on scheduling a vaccine go to:  https://portal.ct.gov/vaccine-portal/COVID-19-Vaccination-Scheduling-Options.

Sincerely,

Michael J. Testani

Superintendent of Schools
