VACCINE HERE!

350 Bassett Tier 1 Workers

Getting Shots Over Weekend

COOPERSTOWN – The vaccine has arrived!

Yesterday, today and tomorrow, approximately 350 employees in the Bassett Healthcare Network’s Tier One group are traveling to the state-established hub-hospital system in Utica and Elmira (Arnot Ogden Hospital) to receive the network’s allotted doses of the Pfizer vaccine, spokeswoman Karen Huxtable-Hooker confirmed a few minutes ago.

“We are hoping to get the Moderna vaccine shipped directly to Bassett before Christmas and be able to vaccinate more employees in the NYSDOH defined Tier One group,” she added.

“Practitioners and staff are excited and energized by this latest development in the battle against COVID-19!”
