With each vaccine administered, we get closer to the days of celebration. The team at Tailwater is excited to be part of the path to recovery as we continue to look towards the future.”
Oswego County Senior Public Health Educator Diane Oldenburg agreed. “This is the county health department’s first mass vaccination clinic in the northern part of Oswego County, and we’re excited to work with the Tailwater on this event.

We appreciate the support of the Tailwater team for helping to make the vaccine accessible to the northern communities.”
