"Out of an abundance of caution, the CDC and the FDA have recommended halting the use of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Ulster County is immediately putting a pause on administering this vaccine while a review is underway. I applaud the CDC and FDA for taking this matter seriously, and we will continue to closely monitor the situation. Here in Ulster County, we have not had any resident report a severe reaction to any vaccine that we have administered. However, any resident that may have a concern regarding a vaccine should reach out to their medical provider.

UCAT will offer free rides on fixed routes for anyone seeking a ride to their vaccination appointment with curb-to-curb transportation being made available to seniors over the age of 60 and those with disabilities 

With all residents over the age of 16 eligible for the vaccine, residents can now directly sign up for appointments when they are available at VaccinateUlster.com
