The site on Tupper Lake Drive was administering first doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech two-shot vaccine until Friday.

After an 11-day federal halt on administering the J&J vaccine and review of blood clot concerns, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended the suspension be lifted on April 23.
