Majority of the vaccines will be used to vaccinate residents over the age of 65 

Ulster County Health Department directly allocated 3,340 vaccine doses, which represents a nearly 400% increase from last week’s allocation of 700 doses

Statement from County Executive Ryan

“After requesting additional vaccines for the residents of Ulster County, I am pleased to announce that this week we have been allocated 3,340 doses directly to our Ulster County Health Department. This significant allocation represents an increase of nearly 400% from previous weeks. The predominance of these vaccines will be dedicated to our seniors over the age of 65. These new doses will allow Ulster County to more rapidly vaccinate our seniors who we know are in a higher risk category for COVID-19. Tomorrow, I will announce additional details of where and when we will vaccinate residents with these additional doses. I would like to thank New York State for their partnership and support. As County Executive, I will continue to advocate for a rapid and equitable vaccination process for all of our residents.”
