With the vaccine being essential to reopening, the race has been on to get Connecticut residents vaccinated as quickly as possible. To help make this a reality, the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation partnered with Hartford Healthcare to open a mega vaccination site at Foxwoods Resort Casino earlier this month in order to help vaccinate as many people as possible to protect them against COVID-19.
Since opening on March 8, the site at Foxwoods has distributed over 10,000 vaccines, becoming the largest vaccination center in the Hartford Healthcare network. Foxwoods also set a record for the highest number of vaccinations in one day with 1,532 shots on Saturday, March 20 and has the highest daily vaccination average of all 22 sites in the Hartford Healthcare system.
As part of the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation’s commitment to keep everyone safe and help alleviate burden on the local community, the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe also started vaccinating frontline workers back in December, gradually expanding with the goal of vaccinating the entire tribal nation and Foxwoods workforce. So far, approximately 65% of Foxwoods team members have received at least one dose of the vaccine, and over 40% are fully vaccinated.
