The Otsego County Office for the Aging is advising that contrary to some reports they do not have the ability to set appointments to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Those 65 and older can call 1-833-697-4829 to attempt schedule an appointment but be advised it will take several weeks or even months before vaccine supplies are replenished. Currently, all local appointments are filled. Officials say they continue to ask the state for options to get the vaccine to the county’s senior community.
