Plattsburgh, January 4, 2022. The Clinton County Health Department (CCHD) will be offering expanded hours and additional dates for COVID-19 vaccination with additional staffing provided by the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH). 

These clinics are open to all residents 12 and over needing dose 1, 2 or 3 (due to being a moderately or severely immunocompromised individual). Boosters are available for those 16 and over with at least 6 months since their second dose of vaccine. Residents can take advantage of these additional appointments by visiting www.clintonhealth.org/covid19vaccine and registering for an available time slot. 

CCHD’s current COVID-19 vaccination schedule is as follows: 

 Thursday, January 6, 2022. 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.

All currently approved or authorized COVID-19 vaccines are safe and effective and reduce your risk of severe illness. Booster shots are now available for everyone ages 16 and older who completed their primary vaccination series at least 6 months prior. Though the FDA has authorized the use of boosters among those ages 12-15, NYS has not yet given final approval for these doses. Please check back frequently for more information.
