WPCNR COUNTY CLARION-LEDGER. From the Westchester County Department of Communications. June 30, 2021:

If you have not yet gotten your COVID-19 vaccine, it’s not too late! The COVID-19 vaccine is highly effective in preventing serious illness, hospitalization and death from COVID-19, and it is still being offered at multiple locations throughout Westchester County.

Westchester County Executive George Latimer said: “Westchester County is finally emerging on the other side of the COVID-19 pandemic. One thing is clear – the vaccinations are working. We are seeing the lowest numbers of positive COVID-19 cases since the onset of the pandemic, with Westchester vaccinating more than 80 percent of our population. If you have not yet gotten the vaccine please make an appointment to do so, and help us turn the corner on this deadly disease.”
