Since the CDC authorized all adults to receive booster shots, Cornell community members can sign up at a variety of locations across Ithaca.
Tompkins County kids are starting to receive COVID-19 vaccines following the FDA’s authorization of the Pfizer-BioNTech pediatric vaccine for 5 to 11 year-olds.
On Thursday, May 6, from 1-5 p.m., Cornell will hold it’s second on-campus COVID-19 vaccination clinic in Bartels Hall. The clinic is open to all Cornell students, faculty and staff who have yet to receive their first dose of a vaccine.
According to Tompkins County Public Health Director Frank Kruppa, Cornell has been approved as a vaccination site by New York State.
Ithacan seniors 65 and older struggle to receive the vaccines they’re now eligible for, grappling with limited doses and appointments.
Following the high campus demand for flu shots in the spring that caused a 36-hour shortage of vaccinations, Cornell Health anticipates an even higher demand this fall, according to Anne Jones ’04, director of medical services at Cornell Health.
