Westchester County Center resumes vaccinations alongside tests

COVID-19 vaccinations have returned to the Westchester County Center - two months after the state moved its mass vaccination site from that location because the demand for shots dropped.
The County Center is offering 250 shots a day for kids and adult boosters by appointment starting Wednesday.
Just one-third of kids aged 5 to 11 in Westchester are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and only 600,000 in the seven-county Mid-Hudson region have gotten a third dose.
Westchester County Executive George Latimer says vaccinating more people will help guide the county through this current wave of the pandemic.
"This is the tool that we think will help reduce the number of cases overall and help reduce the number of severe cases," he says.
Testing by appointment will continue alongside the vaccinations. Westchester brought testing back to the center two weeks ago to take the burden off local clinics.
