Shelter Island is prepared to schedule appointments and provide all logistical necessities needed to provide COVID-19 vaccines to residents, but what it lacks is the vaccine. That was the message Tuesday from town officials.
Police Chief Jim Read said school officials are prepared to schedule classes virtually so that the building could accommodate vaccinations. He said the town would handle scheduling of appointments and arrange for whatever number of professionals would be needed to administer the inoculations.
It can also provide a freezer or refrigeration unit for vaccines and any other requirements the federal, state or county officials might impose. Camp Quinipet has also offered space to administer vaccines, Supervisor Gerry Siller said.

New year’s Eve was a day for the Shelter Island Town Board to celebrate two public servants one who chose to retire and the other who will continue serving in other capacities, but no longer as a Justice Court judge.
State Senator Kenneth LaValle (R-Port Jefferson) and Judge Helen Rosenblum who has long served the town, initially as town attorney and later on the Justice Court bench were saluted for their years of contributions to Shelter Island.
Supervisor Gerry Siller called the presentation of proclamations to the two public officials “bittersweet,” noting the intent was to celebrate the two in person, but the COVID-19 pandemic forced virtual presentations via Zoom.
