WATERTOWN, N.Y. (WWNY) - The COVID vaccination clinic at Jefferson Community College is ending for people who need their first-dose.
Instead, the vaccines will be hitting the road. In Lewis County, mobile clinics are a focus as well.
For all the times we’ve seen Jefferson Community College’s clinic busy with people, it wasn’t last week. It had 300 doses and administered 67. The leftover doses will now go to mobile vaccination sites.
The Johnson & Johnson vaccine is on pause. The federal and state decisions come after 6 people who received the J&J shot reported blood clots. Officials aren’t sure if it is the vaccine, but they re being cautious. Nonetheless, the halt hits here in the north country.
WATERTOWN â Turning the page into April, the North Country Family Health Center continues to hold vaccine clinics using both state and federal vaccines. In addition to this, the federal vaccinations allow the health center to have mobile sites.
Through the month, the center has scheduled three mobile vaccination sites to bring COVID-19 vaccinations to rural, underserved areas. The first will take place at South Lewis High School in Turin from 4 to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, April 6.
âSouth Lewis happens to be one of our mobile dental sites, so we work with the school already,â said April Fallon, director of marketing and community relations for the North Country Family Health Center. âSo weâre using the school as a site to do it at because itâs the biggest place in the area that we have kind of a relationship with.â
