Weekly COVID-19 Statistics Update August 24 – August 30

by Kassadee Bradshaw | August 30, 2021 4:25 pm

OSWEGO COUNTY – According to the Oswego County Health Department, as of 3 p.m., there have been a total of 327  additional cases of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) this past week.

Weekly accumulated case counts continue to rise, and Oswego County’s community transmission level remains “high” according to the CDC.

Oswego County Public Health Director Jiancheng Huang reminds residents that the Delta variant of the coronavirus is more infectious than other strains that have circulated.

“While we have seen positive cases of COVID-19 in fully vaccinated people, it is important to remember that the vaccine is effective in preventing severe illness, hospitalization and death,” Huang said.

Huang encourages residents to get vaccinated.

“For those who have not yet received the vaccine, it’s not too late, you can still get vaccinated and protect your family and friends,” Huang said. “The more people get vaccinated, the better we can protect those who are not eligible for the vaccine so far, especially those who are very young.” 

He went on to remind residents that COVID-19 vaccines are broadly available throughout the county.

“Vaccines are available at clinics offered by the County Health Department, at area pharmacies, and through community health care providers,” he said.

The Oswego County Health Department will hold two vaccination clinics this week. 

The first is scheduled for Tuesday, August 31 at Cayuga Community College, 11 River Glen Drive, Fulton. From 1 to 3 p.m., health staff will administer the Pfizer (Comirnaty) vaccine to those aged 12 years and over. This is a two-dose vaccine, so those who attend should plan to go to the Nick Sterio Public Health Clinic, 70 Bunner St., Oswego on Tuesday, September 21 for their second shot.

From 1 to 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, September 1, health staff will administer the Pfizer (Comirnaty) vaccine to those aged 12 years and over at the Nick Sterio Public Health Clinic, 70 Bunner St., Oswego. Again, this is a two-dose vaccine, so those who attend should plan to return on Wednesday, September 22 for their second shot. 

“Our COVID-19 vaccine clinics are open to anyone who is eligible for the vaccine, regardless of where they are in the series,” said Oswego County Medical Director Dr. Christina Liepke. “At any of our clinics, patients can come in for their first, second or third dose… Patients do need to talk with their health care provider before they come to the clinic to find out if they should receive a third dose, because only certain people with underlying conditions need it… A third dose is different from a booster. Immuno-compromised patients who need a third dose should get it 28 days (or later) after their second dose. In contrast, a booster is given to all patients several months after they complete their vaccine series. The CDC and FDA are reviewing evidence on the potential need for a booster after any of the vaccines. Once this review is complete and if booster doses are recommended, we will be offering those as well.”

Notes: The total number of positive cases in Oswego County is cumulative since March 2020 and the number of recoveries and deaths are of those numbers. SUNY Oswego cases are included in the county numbers, however, the county tracks only those living in Oswego County. That means that students who chose to leave and go back to their home county and test positive there will be included on the college’s dashboard, but not the county’s. Their positive result would be reported to their home county, not here.

The first two cases in Oswego County were confirmed March 22, 2020.
