I want to share what I learned in getting a Covid shot to help you schedule your own appointment. I started with looking up eligibility at the CT.gov portal.
Then I went to the Department of Public Health and registered with VAMS. You will get a confirmation email and a sperate email with a link to login and schedule your appointment. I had a hard time with VAMS so I ended up calling (at the bottom of page) and scheduled over the phone. The appointments are 2-3 weeks out.
All the links are below.
