POTSDAM â The state-run COVID-19 vaccination clinic at SUNY Potsdamâs Maxcy Hall is seeing a decline in appointment registrations, and is now fulfilling same-day appointments.
During a public SUNY Potsdam College Council meeting Friday morning, council member and Waddington Town Supervisor Alex V. Hammond said site volunteers will be posting roadside signs encouraging motorists to stop in to register and get vaccinated.
âWe have a lot of vaccine and appointments that are not being filled on a daily basis,â he said. âNothingâs being thrown away, nothingâs being wasted, but we have a number of appointments we do on a daily basis and we arenât reaching that goal currently.â
WADDINGTON â Former Democratic candidate for New Yorkâs 116th Assembly seat and current Waddington Town Supervisor Alex V. Hammond will be deploying to New York City to help in the fight against COVID-19.
