Supervisor’s Update – November 12, 2021

Welcome back (or welcome, for newcomers!) to the Supervisor’s Update!

First, a note of thanks to Ossining’s veterans and all veterans. Yesterday, we marked Veterans Day with a mass at St. Augustine’s and a ceremony at Nelson Park. For the many wars, old and new, that our men and women have served in to protect our American freedoms— for all of you, we are thankful, grateful and humbled. A very special thank you to Michael G. O'Connor and the Ossining Centralized Committee of Organized War Veterans for bringing us together annually to acknowledge their service as well as their sacrifices and those of their families.

Next, we have some good news on the COVID front. On Wednesday, we learned that OVAC has received a shipment of pediatric doses of the Pfizer vaccine! This is very exciting. The Pfizer vaccine received emergency use authorization for use in children after clinical trials showed the pediatric dose was more than 90% effective in preventing symptomatic COVID-19 in children aged 5-11. Safety data showed absolutely no -- as in zero -- serious adverse effects in the trial group. You can read more about it in this news article from the American Academy of Pediatrics. You can click here to schedule an appointment for vaccination at OVAC.

In other vaccine news, as of November 10, the percentage of adults who have received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine was exactly 82.6% in both the 10562 and 10510 zip codes. As of November 9, there were just 25 active COVID-19 cases in the Town and its two Villages. The last time we reported on cases in the Town, active cases were at 81, and our vaccination rates were around 10 percentage points lower. All this to say that things are headed in the right direction, thanks to all the folks rolling up their sleeves and taking one, two, or even three for the team! We’ll all be safer still once we get the kids vaccinated.

If you need to schedule an appointment for a first, second or third vaccine dose, click here to check availability with OVAC. (Click here to go to the CDC website to see if you qualify for a booster shot.) OVAC can also perform at-home vaccinations for those who may be homebound, or simply prefer to receive their vaccine in the comfort of their own homes. If you have questions, email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., call (914) 941-9196, or stop in their building (8 Clinton Ave.) anytime between 9AM - 4PM on their vaccination days (Wednesday and Friday) to speak with one of their personnel. If you need to find a shot on days other than Wednesday or Friday, or just want to expand your search, check out www.vaccines.gov and type in your zip code.

In the midst of all this progress, as the holidays approach, let’s keep in mind that even the first kids to get their shots will probably not be fully vaccinated by Thanksgiving. Precautions like masking and social distancing are still important, particularly for ensuring that our children are able to stay in school in person safely. We have been fortunate that cases in our area schools have been very low all fall; let’s keep it that way by being safe during the holidays.
