WILLIAMSBURG – As vaccinations for COVID-19 are being administered throughout the state, those involved with public health in the Hilltowns are working on plans to provide access for residents.
While first responders and others in Phase 1 of the state’s vaccination rollout plan are being vaccinated elsewhere in the region, Donna Gibson, chairwoman of the Williamsburg Board of Health, said the town is preparing to set up drive-thru clinics to serve residents of Williamsburg and Goshen.
Michael Kurland, chairman of the Goshen Board of Health, said the current plan is to have a staging area at the parking lot of the Anne T. Dunphy School, with drive-thru vaccinations taking place near the garage of the Williamsburg Highway Department.
