Vaccine

Hospitals in hot spots across the nation are seeing "disturbing numbers" of unvaccinated mothers-to-be seriously ill with the virus.

The Chenango County Health Department says it is now providing links for COVID-19 vaccine appointments on its website.

Residents are being urged to follow COVID guidelines as most of the population waits for the vaccine and positive tests for the coronavirus continue to soar.

With the end of summer vacation and the return to school, it is a good time for parents to make sure their children’s vaccines are current and up to date. Yet according to the agency of healthcare research and quality statistics, fewer than 70 percent of all children receive all the recommended vaccines.
