Peru – The Clinton County Health Department’s COVID Vaccination Team, visited Peru High & Middle School on Tuesday, June 1, 2021. Health Department Public Information Officer Molly Flynn said the team administered the Pfizer vaccine to about forty-four individuals. She did not have a breakdown of the exact student, staff, or general public vaccination totals.
Today, the team is making its last school visit at NCCS in Champlain, where 70+ people have appointments. Including NCCS, the team will have vaccinated just over 300 individuals. Flynn said, “The program’s been well-received. We started the school visits as quickly as possible so that we can return with the second vaccinations before the school year ends.”
The Health Department’s next scheduled vaccination clinic is scheduled for June 12 (11 a.m. to 3 p.m. ) in the former Friendly’s Restaurant parking lot near the Upper Cornelia Street Price Chopper. Drop-ins are welcome. You do not need an appointment.
