True allergic reactions to vaccinations are extremely rare, but two local women did experience this after receiving their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. Allergists at Rochester Regional Health were able to safely administer their second vaccine doses by following a special procedure.
Meaghan de Chateauvieux received her first dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine at a Monroe County clinic in mid-January.
Fifteen minutes following the injection, she was told she could go home. And I said, I don t really think so, she recalled.
Her whole body was itching and hives broke out on her arms, chest and face.

The old saying goes: “Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper.” In present-day America, however, our approach to meals tends to be the opposite.
There are a few theories behind why we seem stuck in a pattern with dinner as the heaviest meal. A 2015 Washington Post article references a study on circadian rhythms possibly causing hunger spikes and cravings for sweet, salty, starchy foods later at night, along with the suggestion that this may be due to evolution: It was once efficient for humans to eat late at night in order to store energy as fat and glycogen for the next day. There’s also the hormone factor: Cortisol and adrenaline drop off midday, so if we’re working late into evening or night, we’re looking for a boost from food.

Schuyler County Public Health and Schuyler Hospital are providing an update on vaccination efforts in Schuyler County. To date, Schuyler County Public Health and Schuyler Hospital have provided 1,260 people with their first dose of COVID-19 vaccine.
“The number of vaccine doses local health departments, hospitals, and pharmacies are receiving is still very small” Schuyler County Public Health Director Deborah Minor stated. “I know everyone is anxious to get vaccinated as soon as possible, but I ask that you please be patient. Vaccination locations are adding clinics and opening registration as soon as they have doses available.”

Dozens of COVID-19 vaccination sites have opened across New York for those eligible to receive a shot. But supplies are dwindling after Gov. Andrew Cuomo opened up eligibility in mid-January to millions.
Many sites may have already run out of doses or have all their appointments booked, and have begun turning away those seeking the vaccine. New York receives about 250,000 new doses from the federal government each week, according to Cuomo.
Appointments have been difficult to get for many New Yorkers. But they are necessary. Walk-ins are not allowed. This information is based on the latest update from the Finger Lakes vaccine hub. https://flvaccinehub.org/Home/Eligible
