ITHACA, N.Y. (WHCU) – A handful of doctors and nurses at Cayuga Health are among the first in Tompkins County to receive a COVID-19 vaccine.
The inoculations fall in line with Governor Cuomo’s phased approach regarding vaccine distribution and administration. In Phase I, supplies are limited to those that may be most at risk, including frontline, patient-facing healthcare providers.
Cayuga Med President and CEO Dr. Marty Stallone says “We are pleased to be able to offer the Pfizer and BioNTech vaccine to our frontline workers at this time. And we know this is only the beginning of this fast-evolving process.”
