Scott Lewis, Director of Emergency Management updated the Board of County Commissioners yesterday on where the county stands with COVID immunizations. The state has changed the playbook to include those that are 70 and older to begin receiving the vaccine. Lewis detailed the challenges of receiving and dispersing the vaccine among the groups approved to receive them at this time and the need for more doses. If you are interested in receiving the vaccine, go to nyecounty.net and fill out the survey. This is the best way to let providers know how many vaccines are needed and to notify you when your group is approved to be vaccinated.
