Summer may be winding down, but mosquito season in Connecticut isn't over yet 🦟
This week, Commissioner @DrJuthani joined @LGSusanB at the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station (CAES) to discuss the two confirmed human cases of West Nile Virus identified in the last two weeks.
Mosquito activity typically continues in Connecticut through October, and health officials are urging residents not to let their guard down as temperatures start to cool.
Simple steps that make a big difference:
✅ Use EPA-registered insect repellent
✅ Wear long sleeves and pants, especially at dawn and dusk
✅ Drain standing water around your home (bird baths, gutters, containers)
✅ Repair or install window/door screens

Los casos de sarampión continúan reportándose en todo el país. Ya sea que esté preparando a su familia para el regreso a clases o planeando viajes de otoño e invierno, asegúrese de que sus vacunas MMR estén al día.
Whether you're heading back to school or planning fall and winter travel, make sure your MMR vaccination is up to date.
✔️ Check your vaccine status
✔️ Know the symptoms
✔️ Help protect your family and community
📞 Need an MMR vaccine? Call 860-448-4882.
Mosquitoes are not just annoying—they spread germs. Keep them out of your home by using screens, running AC when possible, and removing standing water. Repellent works, too!
Extreme heat can be dangerous, but a few simple steps make a big difference:
• Sip water throughout the day
• Take breaks in shade or A/C. No A/C at home? Call 2-1-1 to find a cooling center near you.
• Look out for older adults, kids & anyone without cooling.
