The University will participate in the Tompkins County Health Department and Cayuga Medical Center “College Student Vaccination Day” for students from Cornell, Ithaca College and Tompkins Cortland Community College at the Shops at Ithaca Mall vaccination site.
New York State residents age 16+ will be eligible to schedule and receive COVID-19 vaccines as of April 6th. Here’s how to get your shot.
According to Tompkins County Public Health Director Frank Kruppa, Cornell has been approved as a vaccination site by New York State.
As COVID-19 vaccine eligibility continues to grow, members of the Cornell community head to local distribution centers to get their shots.
With only one required dose, the newly authorized Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine has the potential to dramatically accelerate nationwide vaccine distribution, joining the likes of the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna two-dose vaccines.
Cornell students who are frontline workers are eligible for the COVID vaccine. Yet there are still challenges to receiving it.
As science is politicized and misinformation continues to spread through social media feeds like wildfire, the class teaches students how to ask questions, find reputable sources and make informed decisions — and how dangerous it can be when that doesn’t happen.
Tompkins County’s early success in its COVID-19 vaccine rollout has been marked by a fast transition into phase 1b and little wastage of vaccine doses.
As the vaccine rollout progresses in New York state, some members of the Cornell community have become eligible, including faculty and staff teaching in person, surveillance test site workers and emergency personnel.
As vaccine distribution in the U.S. slowly progresses, the Tompkins County Health Department has hired a Preparedness Coordinator and Director of Community Health to aid with the county’s COVID-19 contact tracing and eventual vaccine distribution.
