5 p.m. update: All appointments were completed within an hour, according to the county website
Syracuse, NY – In less than an hour, people made 990 hard-to-come appointments for a first dose of the coronavirus vaccine made available today by Onondaga County. The photos will be given on Thursday at the Oncenter in downtown Syracuse.
County Director Ryan McMahon tweeted around 4 p.m. that appointments were available. By 5 p.m. they were all gone.
The county received 900 vials of Moderna vaccine today, just a quarter of what it had received in previous weeks. Of the 900 vials, the county can deliver 990 doses of the vaccine, McMahon said.
Appointments go quickly, given the scarcity of vaccines this week in central New York.
McMahon tweeted that slots were available just after 4 p.m. Twenty minutes later, only half of the 990 slots remained. At 4:48 p.m., no appointments remained, according to the website.
When more vaccines become available, appointments can be scheduled online on the county immunization page. Seniors or others unable to navigate online can call 211.
