Foxwoods Resort Casino’s COVID-19 vaccination site is delivering the most shots of any of Hartford HealthCare’s 22 vaccination sites, while 65% of the casino’s employees have gotten at least their first dose of vaccine and 40% have been fully vaccinated, the Mashantucket Pequot Tribe announced Wednesday.
The site the tribe opened March 8 in a partnership with Hartford HealthCare has administered more than 10,000 shots, including a one-day high of 1,532 shots on March 20, the tribe said.
The goal is to have the site administer 1 million doses by July.
Foxwoods has reactivated some of the slot machines it had shut down to maintain physical distancing among patrons, but not because of the number of employees who have been vaccinated, Jason Guyot, the casino’s president and chief executive officer, said in a phone interview.
