Clinton County COVID-19 Vaccination Update – Clinton County Health Department
Plattsburgh, January 11, 2021. The New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) has indicated that, as of January 11, 2021, New Yorkers in Phase 1a and segments of Phase 1b are eligible for vaccination. “Though groups may be eligible, we are currently restricted on who we are permitted to vaccinate and how many doses of vaccine we have available,” stated John Kanoza, Director of Public Health in Clinton County.
The Clinton County Health Department (CCHD) is working with local providers to develop a list of locations that eligible community members can go to register for their vaccination. “Please be patient with this process, we will communicate how to register for your vaccination as soon as we are able to do so,” said Mr. Kanoza.
NYSDOH has also indicated Clinton County may be slated for a state operated, drive-thru vaccination site. “Though we have been given preliminary information regarding this possibility, the details of a state site in our area are still being ironed out,” said Mr. Kanoza. “CCHD’s vaccination team is ready to begin our distribution plans for future tiers and phases as soon as more vaccine becomes available.”
