    Does anyone know why the County Health Department's "Vaccine information" page (https://www.columbiacountynyhealth.com/news/covid-19-vaccine-information/) shows it's last "update" on 1/21? This is the 28th.

      They seem to have switched the page they use to provide vaccine information. Try this instead: https://www.columbiacountynyhealth.com/home/coronavirus-covid-19/covid-resources-info/

      Also, it appears that, although Matt Murell said they would be making 100 doses available this week to essential workers and 100 to people 65 and over, they never made any available to anyone other than essential workers. At least, they haven't done so yet.
