• Friday, February 19 at 134 Court Street, White Plains

• Friday, February 19 at Westchester Community College

I'm scheduled for Moderna dose two 2/18/21 at the Westchester Dept. of Health office in White Plains at 134 Court Street. This morning I received a message from New York State confirming my appointment tomorrow. In the 27 days since my first vaccination I have not received any electronic message from Westchester County. I learned from friends that tomorrow's appointments have been cancelled. I later found that information on the county web page above.

Moderna is in Texas, so that may be why the vaccine did not arrive but where did New York State get its supply and why did the state send confirming email messages this morning? There is a big disconnect between Westchester County and the state. BIG!

Apparently the Westchester County Center building will be open tomorrow for vaccinations. The capacity there could be much bigger if the four huge tents had been left operational.
