HCC Partners With Area Churches to Increase Bridgeport’s Vaccination Rate

Housatonic Community College (HCC), area churches and Griffin Health have joined forces to help increase Bridgeport’s COVID-19 vaccination rate. Together the organizations have created popup vaccination clinics offering both vaccinations and boosters in the coming weeks.

Vaccines, booster shots, and 1st and 2nd doses are available. We encourage all those who are ages five and up and in need of the vaccine to come,” said Robin Avant, HCC’s Dean of Academic Affairs.
