Oneida County Health Department Director Linda Conlon is proud of the vaccination effort in the county.
Nearly 45% of residents have gotten at least one dose of the vaccine which is above the state average of 37%.
“We’re pretty happy about that,” said Conlon.
She also impressed with the 65 and older age group getting nearly 83% vaccinated.
“We have exceeded our expectations. All of us that our vaccinating the health department, our health care providers, and pharmacies I think have done a great job outreaching and getting our 65+ population vaccinated. Now we’re setting our focus on our younger population,” said Conlon.
