OSWEGO COUNTY – According to the Oswego County Health Department, as of 3 p.m., there have been a total of 367 additional cases of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and two more county residents have died this past week.
“I’m sorry to report that we’ve lost two more neighbors to this disease,” said Oswego County Public Health Director Jiancheng Huang. “Our condolences go out to their families and friends.”
Last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) joined the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in authorizing pediatric doses of the Pfizer (Comirnaty) vaccine for children aged 5 to 11 years. “This is an important decision in our fight again the COVID-19 virus,” said Huang. “The vaccine will help protect kids from getting the infection and further reduce the spread of the virus.”
He went on to say that the health department is collaborating with ConnextCare and local pharmacies to vaccinate this new group. Health department staff will vaccinate children in the Hannibal, Central Square, Oswego and Fulton school districts beginning Friday, Nov. 12.
ConnextCare will vaccinate children in the Pulaski, Sandy Creek, Mexico, Phoenix and Altmar-Parish-Williamstown school districts beginning Saturday, Nov. 10. Drive-thru clinics will be held at Pulaski and Parish on Saturday, Nov. 13 for parents who would like to get their 5- to 11-year-old children vaccinated but cannot attend their school’s scheduled clinic. To make an appointment and see the full listed of ConnextCare pediatric clinics, go to: https://www.connextcare.org/COVID19[1].
Additional pediatric COVID-19 vaccination clinics will be held at Kinney Drugs in Fulton (315-593-2158; www.kinneydrugs.com[2]); Kinney Drugs in Mexico (315-963-0601; www.kinneydrugs.com[2]); and Walgreen’s in Fulton (315-598-2380; www.walgreens.com[3]).
Huang said that the number of new cases has remained stable over the last few weeks. “The health department continues to work with other providers to deliver COVID-19 vaccines,” he said. “Nearly all of the people we saw in our clinics last week were coming in for third and booster doses. The state Department of Health reported that the County’s vaccination rate remains the same at 55.5%.”
He reminds residents that the COVID-19 virus is still active in our county, which puts those who are not vaccinated or not fully vaccinated at a higher risk of contracting the disease and developing severe cases.
“I encourage those who are eligible for the vaccine to get their shot and help us protect our communities,” said Huang. “The vaccine will protect you and your family as well as those who are not eligible to receive the vaccine themselves. Working together, we can make this county safer and healthier.”
The Oswego County Health Department continues to host COVID-19 vaccine clinics from 1 to 5:30 p.m. every Wednesday at the Nick Sterio Public Health Clinic, 70 Bunner St., Oswego. Please note that there will not be a clinic scheduled on Wednesday, Nov. 24 due to the Thanksgiving holiday.
This Wednesday, Nov. 10, health department staff will administer the patient’s choice of the Pfizer (Comirnaty) and Janssen/Johnson & Johnson vaccine between 1 and 5:30 p.m., and the Moderna vaccine between 5 and 5:30 p.m. only.
This clinic includes first, second or third doses of the Pfizer (Comirnaty) or Moderna vaccines, the one-dose Janssen/Johnson & Johnson vaccine, and the Pfizer (Comirnaty) and Janssen/Johnson & Johnson boosters. Those eligible for a booster must register in advance.
A separate clinic is scheduled for the Moderna booster. It will run from 2 to 5 p.m. today, Nov. 8 at the Nick Sterio Public Health Clinic, 70 Bunner St., Oswego. Advanced registration is required for a booster shot.
The Health Department’s COVID-19 vaccine clinics are open to anyone who is eligible for the vaccine. The Pfizer (Comirnaty) vaccine is approved for those aged five years and over. The Moderna and Janssen/Johnson & Johnson vaccines are approved for those aged 18 years and over. The Pfizer (Comirnaty) and Moderna vaccines are both two-dose vaccines and the Janssen/Johnson & Johnson vaccine is a one-dose vaccine.
Walk-ins are welcome; however, online registration is encouraged and appreciated for the clinic’s efficiency. People can pre-register online at https://health.oswegocounty.com/information/2019_novel_coronavirus/covid-19_vaccine.php[4] or by calling the COVID-19 Hotline at 315-349-3330.
The CDC recommends that people who had the Janssen/Johnson & Johnson vaccine get a booster shot with any of the three available vaccines two months after their initial shot.
For those who received the Pfizer (Comirnaty) or Moderna vaccines, the CDC states that the following people SHOULD get a booster shot six months from their last dose:
- Those who are 65 years old and over.
- People who are 18 years old and over and live in a long-term care setting such as a nursing home.
- Those who are 50 to 64 years old with certain underlying medical conditions (HIV, active cancer, COPD, asthma, chronic kidney disease, sickle cell, obesity, heart disease, chronic liver disease, immune deficiency, diabetes, or history of solid organ transplant or STEM cell transplant etc.).

- Those who are 18 to 49 years old with certain underlying medical conditions mentioned above.
