OSWEGO COUNTY – According to the Oswego County Health Department, as of 3 p.m., there have been a total of 17 additional cases of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) this past week.

“The data shows that the 7-day average of testing volume, percentage of those testing positive, and the new case counts are all rising,” said Oswego County Public Health Director Jiancheng Huang. “The Oswego County Health Department continues to use case tracking, isolation, quarantine, and vaccination to control the spread of the COVID-19 virus in the community. Among all of these measures, vaccination is the most powerful tool. We encourage all eligible residents to get vaccinated.”

Huang said many providers offer the vaccine in Oswego County. They include pharmacies, health care providers, the Oswego Hospital, ConnextCare, and the County Health Department. Recently, the United Way of Greater Oswego County announced incentives to encourage 12- to 25-year-olds to get vaccinated.

“Working together, we will be able to better protect ourselves and our neighbors,” he said. 

He urged residents who have been vaccinated with only one dose of Pfizer or Moderna vaccine to get their second shot as soon as they are eligible.

The Oswego County Health Department will hold vaccine clinics every Wednesday from 1 to 5:30 p.m. during July and August. The Pfizer vaccine is offered to those age 12 and older, and the 1-dose Janssen/ J&J is available to those age 18 and older. Appointments are preferred but walk-ins are accepted. Call 315-349-3330 to make an appointment, or schedule on-line at health.oswegocounty.com.

The Oswego County COVID-19 Hotline is also available to help people make appointments and answer any COVID-19-related questions. The hotline is open 8:30 am. to 12:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, phone 315-349-3330.

The Oswego County Office for the Aging can also help people aged 60 and over who need help navigating the internet to make appointments. Call 315-349-3484.

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.

  1. If the county pays for antibody testing to prove I don’t have them I’ll get the shot. Was reading several studies from Europe that still 18 months after having covid people still are just as immune as those with no covid and the shot. Follow the science, read the studies, people with adverse reactions had covid prior to the shot.
