Press-Republican MALONE Franklin County Public Health has had an uptick in resident calls regarding Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine and its shipments to the North Country, but said Wednesday afternoon that it did not know exactly when or how many doses were going to Franklin County. “The exact number of doses and the exact timing is being communicated directly to the people who need to know that information, not necessarily to everyone in the general public,” Program Coordinator Erin Streiff told the Press-Republican Wednesday, adding that hospitals and nursing homes would receive the vaccine first.

PLATTSBURGH â CVPH vaccinated nearly 200 employees since Tuesday, and while officials are calling the news exciting, they also remind the community that Pfizer/BioNtech s COVID-19 vaccine is not yet available to the general public. A rollout of the vaccine to everyone isn t going to happen overnight, Clinton County Health Department Director of Public Health John Kanoza said Thursday, noting that its supply was limited and that high-risk healthcare workers, as well as nursing home residents and staff, were being prioritized. There are no waitlists that residents can wish to have their names added to at this time, he continued. There is a light at the end of the tunnel with vaccines; (I m) happy to say that, but immunity is going to take months.
