Plattsburgh, November 30, 2021. Over the next few months, the Clinton County Health Department (CCHD) will travel to area schools to offer COVID-19 vaccination clinics to area students ages 5-11.
“We have been working with our local districts since we learned of the approval for this age group,” stated John Kanoza, Director of Public Health in Clinton County. “We have been able to secure supplies and finalize schedules with our local districts.”
Districts with vaccination clinics currently scheduled include Chazy, Northern Adirondack, Saranac, and Peru. Other districts will be added as schedules are finalized. Each participating district will be communicating with their school community directly on the dates and times of their clinics, as well as how parents can register their students. A parent or guardian must be present when their child receives their vaccine.
“Our school partners have been very eager to get these clinics scheduled to serve their families,” explained Mr. Kanoza. “CCHD will work with each district and their medical officers directly on their plans.”
“This school year alone, we have seen upwards of 500 COVID-19 cases among K-12 students, faculty and staff. Getting these kids vaccinated will help to protect them, the community, and reduce the disruptions in learning due to exposures within the schools,” added Mr. Kanoza.
Other local providers have already begun vaccinating residents ages 5 to 11. Parents can reach out to their pediatric provider or local pharmacy for information on other vaccination opportunities.

Essential nonresident workers who drive into the US have to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by Jan. 22, the White House was expected to announce.
Truck drivers, emergency responders and government officials will be held to the same rules as those traveling across the border from Canada or Mexico for pleasure, a top official in President Biden’s administration said Tuesday.
Under the new policy, American citizens and permanent residents would still be allowed to enter the US even if they had not rolled up their sleeves, but would face additional COVID-19 tests as a both a public health precaution and disincentive to remain unvaccinated, according to the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
The White House delayed a vaccination requirement for essential travelers earlier this month so as to not interrupt intracontinental trade, which has continued unabated since the start of the pandemic.
