We are so proud to announce that Alleyanna has been named our 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿! 

Both of our candidates, Alley and Ava, are truly outstanding and inspiring young leaders, making this decision incredibly difficult for our judges.

A huge thank you to our panel of judges for their time, thoughtful deliberation, and dedication to this special event.

Rochelle, Griffin Health schedule 3 mobile clinics to Vax the Valley

State Rep. Kara Rochelle, D-Ansonia and Derby, and Griffin Hospital have coordinated three mobile vaccine clinics with local partners for Ansonia and Derby residents. 

These are walk-up clinics and no appointment is required.
The clinics are scheduled for the following dates:

• April 26 from 4-7 p.m. at Iglesia de Dios Nuevos Comienzos, 101 Elizabeth St., Derby.
• April 28 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the Boys and Girls Club of the Lower Naugatuck Valley, 28 Howard Ave., Ansonia.
• April 30 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at Abundant Life Fellowship Ministries, 195 N. Main St., Ansonia.

The clinics will administer the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines. 

Residents of Ansonia and Derby must bring photo ID and proof of residence. Insurance is not required, but residents who have insurance should bring their insurance card. 

Vaccines will be administered on a first come, first served basis while supplies last.

"These clinics are a way for residents who are having difficulty accessing transportation or securing an appointment to get vaccinated against COVID-19. The most important part of moving the Valley forward from the pandemic is ensuring our friends and neighbors can protect themselves against the virus," said Rochelle. 

"Thank you to Griffin Hospital for being a strong partner on this initiative as well as Pastor Ulysses and Leslie Youngblood from Abundant Life Fellowship Ministries and the Life, Health, and Wellness Center, respectively, Pastor Dennis Maroquin of Iglesia de Dios Nuevos Comienzos, and Breon Sanders, Unit Director for the Joel E. Smilow Clubhouse of the Boys and Girls Club of the Lower Naugatuck Valley, for always lending a helping hand to our community and making these spaces available for residents to receive their COVID-19 vaccine."

Residents who may have questions about the safety or effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccines can reach out to Griffin Hospital 203-204-1053 or Rochelle at Kara.Rochelle@cga.ct.gov for in-depth information about the vaccine. 

Additional information about the vaccines is available at https://bit.ly/3tnJuMR.

Throughout the pandemic, Rochelle has worked closely alongside local nonprofits and faith groups to ensure residents in need had access to personal protective equipment (PPE) like gloves, masks, and hand sanitizer. 

Rochelle continues to work with community partners to connect residents with food support, rent and mortgage assistance, health care, utility assistance, and connect small businesses to critical resources.

This is a press release from Rochelle's office.
