POMONA – With so many seniors in Rockland County waiting for their shot at a COVID-19 vaccine, the county and Refuah Health Center teamed up on Monday.
This week and last, Refuah, a federally qualified health center, received considerably more COVID-19 vaccine doses for its two Ramapo clinics 2,000 each week than the county health department s total of 1,200 per week.
County Executive Ed Day said Refuah pitched in Monday to vaccinate seniors on the Office for the Aging s wait list.
“They did tremendous work during our measles outbreak where countywide over 30,000 MMR shots were given, Day said. They are true community partners who know how to get shots into arms.”

CNHI ALBANY Eligible for the COVID-19 vaccination for more than a month, Paul Rapp, a 65-year-old lawyer, says he has tried lining up an appointment by regularly checking an array of web sites for appointments and visiting his local pharmacy. “I have spent hours and hours online, trying to get into a queue and nothing,” the Ulster County resident told CNHI. “It’s bewildering, even if you’re computer savvy.” His luck didn’t change when he dropped in at his local chain pharmacy. He said there had been indications doses would be available, then he was told the shots would not be administered because there was not sufficient supply for a second shot.
