CCHD Announces Dates for Mobile COVID-19 Vaccine Clinics
Plattsburgh, April 14, 2021. The Clinton County Health Department (CCHD) will be utilizing a mobile POD (point of distribution) approach in their COVID-19 vaccination clinics over the next several weeks.
“While we plan to continue to have a central clinic site at Clinton Community College, it is important that residents who live outside of that central area have access to vaccine,” stated John Kanoza, Director of Public Health in Clinton County. “By bringing the vaccine to these communities we ensure all of our residents have the same opportunity to receive vaccine.”
Vaccination clinics currently scheduled are:
April 21, 2021 at the Saranac Fire Department. This clinic will be located at 3277 Route 3 in Saranac and will run from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm.
April 28, 2021 at the Keeseville Fire Department. This clinic will be located at 8 Pleasant Street in Keeseville and will run from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm.
May 5, 2021 at Holy Angels Church in Altona. The clinic will be located at 522 Devils Den Road in Altona and will run from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm.
The clinics are open to all Clinton County Residents aged 18 years and older. To register yourself or a loved one for any of the clinics, visit www.clintonhealth.org/covid19vaccine. For assistance registering, residents may call CCHD at 518-565-4840.
Participants will be required to show identification and proof of residency or employment in Clinton County. Moderna vaccine will be provided. Vaccination guidance requires participants to receive both their first and second doses from the same agency. A second dose is due at a minimum of 28 days after the first dose. Information on a second-dose clinic will be sent to participants directly when the time comes to receive that dose.
“We will continue to work hard to bring access to the vaccine to all Clinton County residents,” stated Mr. Kanoza. “What we need now, from the public, is for everyone who is eligible to get vaccinated. To help return to a sense of normalcy, we need to see about 80% of our population get vaccinated.”
As additional vaccine clinics are added, CCHD will continue to post them to their website, social media pages, and share will local media outlets.
