Three-hundred eligible residents
in Dutchess received vaccines on
Wednesday, and
Westchester residents may soon have another vaccine clinic option to consider.
Those who visited John Jay High School in East Fishkill received one dose of
the Johnson & Johnson vaccine today.
Dutchess County officials
announced plans to host more pop-up
vaccination sites to serve those in nearby communities. To be considered,
residents must sign up with the county to be added to their vaccination list.
County Executive Marc Molinaro
tells News 12 each clinic is staffed by health department employees and medical
reserve corps volunteers.
“Hundreds of them across Dutchess County are volunteering every single day hour
in and hour out to provide these vaccines,” says Molinaro. “That’s a remarkable
service we’re benefiting from.”
The villages of Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow plan to host a pop-up vaccine
clinic on March 20 for those who are 60 years old and up, and for teachers.
Vaccines will be distributed between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. through a partnership with Rite Aid.
