WESTCHESTER COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH TO OFFER PFIZER COVID-19 VACCINES AT SALUTE TO SENIORS EVENTS IN MAY.

(White Plains, NY) – The Westchester County Department of Health will be offering the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine at all upcoming Department of Senior Programs and Services (DSPS) Salute to Seniors events. Residents 50 years of age and older are eligible to receive the vaccine. In order to receive a shot, you must provide verification that four months has passed since your last COVID-19 vaccination. If you are receiving your first vaccination you will need to get your second at a local pharmacy or clinic near you. Seniors must bring their vaccination cards to the event if they are interested in receiving the vaccine. Free COVID-19 test kits and hand sanitizers will also be distributed on a first come, first serve basis.   

 

Westchester County Executive George Latimer said: “If the COVID-19 pandemic has taught us anything, we have learned the best way to protect ourselves and our families is through vaccinations. We also know that our seniors are among the most vulnerable populations for this virus, and getting your vaccine can prevent serious illness or even death. I encourage all of our seniors to take advantage of this great opportunity and get vaccinated by one of our medical professionals at a Salute to Seniors event.”
