Read / Add Comments Some communities in Westchester are lagging behind others in administering the COVID-19 vaccination as officials urge residents to get a shot in the arm to stop the spread of the virus. With the Delta COVID-19 variant raging across the country and becoming the dominant strain of the virus, officials are attempting to reduce vaccination hesitancy in some areas, with new pop-up clinics planned around the county. During a COVID-19 briefing on Monday, July 19, Westchester County George Latimer said that the county is “trying to customize strategies with communities that have significantly low vaccination rates.” Specifically, Latimer said that officials have reached out in Peekskill, Mount Vernon, and parts of Yonkers to help begin easing vaccine hesitancy, with pop-up vaccination clinics scheduled there.
