BATH — The Steuben County Public Health Department is still waiting for its COVID-19 vaccine supply to catch up with the number of residents eligible to receive vaccinations, Public Health Director Darlene Smith said Monday.
Smith said Steuben County continues to advocate for a greater supply of vaccine.
“With the addition of those with comorbidities being added to the list of those eligible for the vaccine starting next Monday, the majority of Steuben County’s population will be eligible,” said Smith. “Unfortunately, the vaccine supply provided to the health department on a weekly basis can only reach .2% of the population. Based on current allocations from New York State, it will take months to vaccinate those who are currently eligible."
