Dutchess County Weekly Vaccine Update

March 2, 2021

Dutchess County

In response to County Executive Molinaro’s continued advocacy for more vaccine, Dutchess County Department of Behavioral & Community Health (DBCH) will receive a significant increase in vaccine this week – just over 4,000 doses of Pfizer and Moderna vaccine.

We will be vaccinating those over 65 years old, individuals with health conditions, and essential workers at our JCPenney and Dover Point of Dispensing (POD) sites by appointment only.

Eligible individuals will be randomly selected for this week's appointments via a computer-generated process from the current list of more than 44,000 people who have completed the Dutchess County Vaccination Information Request Form OR in coordination with essential worker employers.

Additionally, we are partnering with some of the area’s largest healthcare providers – Caremount Medical, Premiere Medical Group, and Sun River Health – to vaccinate homebound and medically frail senior citizens.
