County health officials will be providing both the one-dose Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine and the two-dose Moderna vaccine from 3:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, May 18 at 25 Marvin Ave. in Brewster for all eligible New Yorkers.
The Johnson & Johnson vaccine will be available for anyone 18 and older, while the Pfizer vaccine will be ready for anyone 12 and up. Those who are 17 and younger must have proof of age and consent from a parent or guardian. An adult must accompany anyone between the ages of 12 and 15.
Officials noted that walk-ins are welcome.
“Please arrive no more than 15 minutes prior to your appointment time. If you are more than 15 minutes late, your appointment will be forfeited.
"You must provide identification, proof that you live, work or attend school in New York, and proof that you fit the criteria. Please understand that without the proper identification we will be unable to administer the vaccine and you will be turned away at the door."
Officials made note that more vaccination centers are scheduled to be opened in the coming weeks as more allocations of the vaccine are provided to Putnam County.
"Everyone must wear a mask and should plan to remain at the POD for 15-minutes after receiving the vaccine," they advised. "Wear short sleeves so that the health care professional giving you the shot can easily access your upper arm."
