Congrats, @NIMAA! Wonderful news.
This includes $450,000 to NIMAA to support the training of residents of medically underserved communities as medical assistants and provide an accessible entry into a health career in #primarycare! 👏👏 @RepPerlmutter @SenatorHick @SenatorBennet
Even with CT's high vaccination rate, not having #MedicalAssistants able to vaccinate during COVID made getting shots in arms a challenge. This restriction makes no sense and warrants a change.
CT is one of only two U.S. states that does not allow Medical Assistants to administer vaccinations. In a @Record_Journal op-ed, our CNO Mary Blankson calls on the General Assembly and Gov. Lamont to address this needed statutory change. Read it: bit.ly/3C1vFc4.
