Ulster County Executive Pat Ryan announced today that “through a whole lot of pushing and persistence,” the county was able to secure 300 more doses of Covid-19 vaccine for this week, above and beyond the 1000 doses already received.
Ryan said 800 of the 1000 doses would be administered at the county-run site at the gym at Kingston High School by the end of the day, while the other 200 were distributed among pharmacies and doctors’ offices throughout the county.
The additional 300 will be administered at second county-run site at Ellenville High School.
