Leaders of the Saratoga County Board of Supervisors just announced plans to designate the Saratoga Springs City Center as a location for a local COVID-19 mass vaccination program. The county has an additional dozen "points of distribution" across the county that they will announce as vaccines become available.
Like other counties across New York State, there has been a very limited supply of vaccines provided to Saratoga County. The hope is that by creating a mass vaccination site that this will change.
To date, Saratoga County has been able to administer 9,600 vaccinations.
In just the last week, the number of active COVID-19 cases in Saratoga County has risen 26% to 3,384 cases as of yesterday. The number of hospitalizations has increased from 52 to 76. In terms of active cases, there are 490 in Clifton Park; 427 in Saratoga Springs; 369 in Halfmoon; 221 in Malta; and 203 in Wilton. Click here to review this data.
