MILFORD, Conn. (WTNH) — The 49th annual Milford Oyster Festival starts on Saturday! The festival follows concerns about severe Vibrio infections contracted by Connecticut residents who ate raw shellfish or were exposed to brackish or salt water in recent weeks. The Connecticut Department of Public Health said three cases have been reported since July 1, and those greatest at risk are the elderly or people with weakened immune systems. Two people have died from Vibrio infections in Connecticut.
