Westchester County reported the highest amount of new cases in the Hudson Valley on Sunday and almost all those infections in the region share one thing in common. "It's very concerning that the numbers in testing positive continue to increase, and 95% of those individuals that have tested positive for coronavirus are unvaccinated," says Westchester Deputy County Executive Ken Jenkins.
The county is encouraging students to get the COVID-19 shot before the semester starts. There are now two free vaccine clinics in Yonkers and White Plains for all back-to-school immunizations.
