Anyone who utilized the vaccination center must be available to receive their second dose on Thursday, May 6.
Eligible priority groups include:

“People who have been coming in today that were expecting the J and J with our quick change really handled it well. Most of them did stay for the Moderna and were thankful and it wasn’t a negative experience at all it all turned out pretty well,” said Kathy Percacciolo, Putnam County Health Department’s supervising public health nurse.
