COVID-19 Vaccine to be Offered at Weekly County Vaccination Clinics

OSWEGO COUNTY – The Oswego County Health Department continues to offer COVID-19 vaccines for county residents and is integrating the service into weekly vaccination clinics. 

Since early last year, Oswego County Health Department staff have held vaccination clinics at sites in every corner of the county to make the COVID-19 vaccine easily accessible for residents. Those efforts have resulted in nearly 23,000 shots administered by Oswego County Health Department staff.

Through collaborations with state and community partners, more than 70,000 one- or two-dose vaccine regimens have been completed and more than 40,000 of those individuals have received booster or third dose vaccinations.

With a majority of the county vaccinated, health staff are transitioning to include the COVID-19 vaccine as part of weekly vaccine clinics offered at the Nick Sterio Public Health Clinic in Oswego. Anyone seeking the COVID-19 vaccine, or other general immunizations, should call the Oswego County Health Department at 315-349-3547 or schedule a COVID-19 vaccine online.
