STATEMENT FROM CEA PRESIDENT JEFF LEAKE AND AFT CONNECTICUT PRESIDENT JAN HOCHADEL ON PHASE 1B COVID-19 VACCINATION DISTRIBUTION PLAN Jan. 8, 2021 As Connecticut prepares to enter Phase 1B of its COVID-19 vaccination distribution plan, the Connecticut Education Association (CEA) and AFT Connecticut are thanking Governor Ned Lamont for prioritizing the safety of students, teachers, and staff by ensuring that school employees are on the list to receive the vaccinations in this phase. The prompt vaccination of educators and school staff is critical to ensuring the safety of our school communities and expediting full in-person teaching and learning in Connecticut's schools. We appreciate the hard work of the Governor's Vaccine Advisory Group in dealing with this complicated and important issue, and we look forward to sharing with our members further details of the administration's plans, including inoculation sites and appointment scheduling.
