The Putnam County Department of Health opened a clinic on Thursday, May 13 at Lakeview Plaza in Brewster that is now open to all New Yorkers who are 12 years and older who live, work or attend school in the state.

Pfizer vaccines are available to all minors who provide proof of age and have the consent of a parent or guardian.

As of Thursday, the first day the shot was available to younger New Yorkers, some vaccination sites had lines flooding out the door with parents and children looking to get vaccinated.

Appointments can be made here to receive the Pfizer vaccine, with some walk-ins to be accepted.
