Weekly COVID-19 Statistics Update: December 21 – December 27
by Kassadee Bradshaw | December 27, 2021 5:27 pm
OSWEGO COUNTY – According to the Oswego County Health Department, as of 3 p.m., there have been a total of 514 additional cases of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and four more COVID-19 related deaths have been reported.
According to the hospitalization report received by the Oswego County Health Department, an additional 21 Oswego County residents were hospitalized due to COVID-19 between Sunday, Dec. 19 and Saturday, Dec. 25. New hospitalization numbers are not part of a running total of hospitalizations.
71.43% of those hospitalized were not vaccinated or not fully vaccinated; and 28.57% were fully vaccinated. Fully vaccinated is defined as having had two doses of the Pfizer (Comirnaty) or Moderna vaccine or one dose of the Janssen/Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
The age distribution of these 21 new patients is: 4.76% aged 0 to 18 years; 19.05% aged 19 to 45 years; 28.57% aged 46 to 64 years; and 47.62% aged 65 years and above.
“The numbers from the last seven days are lower than in previous weeks,” said Oswego County Public Health Director Jiancheng Huang. “This is very likely due to the holiday break as we had a similar ‘drop’ at Christmas last year. Residents should continue to follow COVID-19 prevention measures.”
The Oswego County Health Department changed its COVID-19 reporting format last week due to the recent surge in positive cases and change in COVID-19 activity. Reports on testing, new cases and positivity rates are now issued weekdays.
As of Sunday, Dec. 26, a total of 27,017 residents have received their booster or third shot of the COVID-19 vaccine according to the New York State immunization registry system. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reported that 66,443 individuals in Oswego County have been fully vaccinated.
“These two numbers show us that about half of eligible residents have not received their booster shot yet,” said Huang. “Currently, everyone aged 16 years and over is eligible for a booster shot six months after their second Pfizer or Moderna dose or two months after their Johnson & Johnson dose. I encourage everyone who is eligible for a booster shot to get it.”
COVID-19 vaccines are widely available across the county – through the County Health Department, at area pharmacies and community health care clinics, and through local physicians and health care providers.
The Oswego County Health Department usually holds COVID-19 vaccine clinics on Wednesdays at the Nick Sterio Public Health Clinic, 70 Bunner St., Oswego. Please note that clinics will not be scheduled this Wednesday, Dec. 29 due to the New Year’s Day holiday.
For more information, call the COVID-19 Hotline at 315-349-3330. Phone lines will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. weekdays from now until the end of the year. Please note that the hotline will be closed on Monday, Jan. 3 due to the New Year’s Day holiday.
“The Oswego County COVID-19 Hotline continues to see a high volume of calls,” said Diane Oldenburg, senior public health educator for the Oswego County Health Department. “Hotline staff continue to be available to answer questions, schedule vaccination appointments for health department clinics and send out isolation and quarantine paperwork. Please be aware that some calls take longer than others, so at times you may need to leave a message and a staff person will return your call.”
