It s not the amount that local officials were hoping for, but Oneida County Health received 500 new doses of the COVID-19 vaccine on Wednesday.
County health officials will again begin booking appointments this evening (at ocgov.net) and administering those doses tomorrow at the Griffiss Airport location and at the MVCC Utica campus. Officials say once those 500 appointments are booked, they will again be out and won t book any new appointments until the state delivers more. They also noted they still have 430 doses on hand from a previous delivery from the state.
An exact time for when Oneida County will begin booking those appointments online tonight was not announced, but it will undoubtedly set off a virtual race local residents scramble to snag one of those appointments.
