Putnam County Covid Vaccine Allotment Increased Written by Putnam County The Putnam County Department of Health will see an increase in its vaccine supply, but not as large an increase as it asked for from the state, according to Putnam County Executive MaryEllen Odell. On Friday afternoon, Larry Schwartz, who is leading the state’s vaccination efforts, and Dr. Howard Zucker, the state health commissioner, told county executives statewide to make formal requests for a supply of Pfizer vaccine that local health departments could use to vaccinate seniors without comorbidities. The county executives were told they could request as much vaccine they could store at sub-zero temperatures and administer to the seniors within seven days.
