(HARTFORD, CT) – Governor Ned Lamont today released updated data regarding compliance with the state’s COVID-19 vaccination and testing requirements among agencies in the State of Connecticut executive branch.
Overall compliance remains high with 95% of employees fully vaccinated or current in their weekly testing. When including those who are temporarily out of compliance due to incomplete or late testing result submissions and are in the process of becoming compliant, that percentage increases to 99%.
The overall vaccination rate is currently 80.8%. That is an increase from the most recent update on October 7, when the overall vaccination rate was 78.5%.
Among employees who have chosen not to comply:
- 22 have been separated from their employment;
- 29 have been placed on unpaid leave; and
- 70 are in the process of being placed on unpaid leave due to their ongoing non-compliant status.
(NOTE: The previously reported number of 28 employees separated from their employment incorrectly included 6 who were separated for reasons other than non-compliance with the vaccination and testing requirements. The correct number of employees separated for non-compliance is 22.)
