June 28 – July 6 – Oswego County today

OSWEGO COUNTY – According to the Oswego County Health Department, at 3 p.m. there were a total of three additional cases of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) last week.

Monday’s weekly report has been pushed back to today due to the county buildings being closed to observe July 4.

As some pockets of Oswego County and its population have low vaccination rates and new variants continue to pose a potential threat, residents are still urged to get vaccinated if they are eligible and to encourage members of their family and friends eligible to be vaccinated as well.

“If you want to get the vaccine and you don’t have health insurance, just come to the clinic,” said Jiancheng Huang, director of public health for Oswego County. “There is no cost to you for the COVID-19 vaccine. If you received your first dose of Moderna or Pfizer vaccines and are due for your second injection, be sure to keep your appointment. There is still time for every resident to do their part to bring this virus under control and make our communities safe for all. “

the Oswego County’s next COVID-19 vaccination clinic will be held from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Wednesday, July 7 at the Nick Sterio Public Health Clinic, 70 Bunner St., Oswego. The Pfizer vaccine will be given to people 12 years of age and older. This is a two-dose vaccine and participants should plan to return on Wednesday, July 28 for their second injection.

Additionally, the Janssen / Johnson & Johnson single-dose vaccine will be available from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, July 14 at the Oswego County Opportunities Office at Hillside Commons, 9 Fourth Ave., Oswego.

Walk-in visits are welcome, although online appointments and pre-registration are always appreciated to help reduce wait times and maintain efficient clinical operations.

Notes: The total number of positive cases in Oswego County has been cumulative since March 2020 and the number of healings and deaths matches these numbers. SUNY Oswego cases are included in the county figures, however, the county only tracks those who live in Oswego County. This means that students who chose to leave and return to their home county and test positive there will be included on the college scorecard, but not the county scorecard. Their positive result would be reported to their home country, not here.

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