With concerns surrounding the Johnson & Johnson vaccine having subsided, Putnam announced that there will be a vaccination clinic for the one-dose shot held from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Thursday, April 29 at Lakeview Plaza in Brewster.
Eligible priority groups include:
- Putnam residents who are 18 years of age and older;
- Putnam residents with comorbidities;
- Essential workers who live or work in Putnam;
- Healthcare workers who live or are employed in Putnam.
Officials noted that walk-ins are welcome, and that the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is only approved for those who are 18 and older. Those interested in registering can do so here.
“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."
