The Tompkins County Health Department and Cayuga Medical System will hold vaccination clinics for everyone 18 and older at the Ithaca Mall and for Newfield residents in the Village of Newfield on Thursday.
Tompkins County health officials say Johnson & Johnson vaccine previously allocated to Tompkins County will be administered at the clinics.
Following the pause on the Johnson & Johnson vaccine due to very rare blood clots, and a review of data, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the use of the vaccine stating the benefits of the vaccine far outweigh its risks.
The Tompkins County Health Department (TCHD) is announcing this weekâs COVID-19 Vaccination Clinics. TCHD and Cayuga Health System will hold a clinic for everyone who is 18 years old or older at the Mall Site, and a small pop-up clinic for Newfield residents in the Village of Newfield on Thursday, April 29. Both clinics will use Johnson and Johnson (J&J) vaccine previously allocated to Tompkins County. Appointment links have been sent to individuals on the Tompkins County COVID-19 vaccine registry and have been posted on the TCHD website. Â
