Walk-in Vaccinations Available At Thursday COVID Clinic

PUTNAM COUNTY, NY — COVID vaccination appointments are available for Thursday morning at the Putnam County Department of Health’s clinic at the Philipstown Recreation Center in Garrison.

In fact, the county has enough doses and unfilled appointments to allow walk-ins, on a first-come, first-serve basis.

The clinic is open to all those who live, work or attend school in New York State.

Pre-registration online is preferred, and you can do that here.

First-dose Moderna vaccines are being offered beginning at 9 a.m. and are approved for individuals 18 years of age and older. Individuals who receive this vaccine must be available to return for their second dose of Moderna on May 20 at the same location. Appointment times end at 11 a.m.

You must provide identification, proof that you live, work or attend school in New York and proof that you fit the criteria. Please understand that without the proper identification we will be unable to administer the vaccine and you will be turned away at the door.

In order to receive the vaccine on this date you MUST be available to receive your second dose on May 20, 2021. Your second vaccine appointment will be scheduled automatically for that date at the same location and time as your first appointment.

If you have a scheduled appointment time, arrive then — there will be no early admittance.

Everyone must wear a mask and should plan to remain at the POD for 15-minutes after receiving the vaccine. Wear short sleeves so that the health care professional giving you the shot can easily access your upper arm.
