Starting my week working at home. My turn in the COVID-19 barrel. Feeling fine with mild symptoms but isolating for the rest of the week. Good time for a reminder to make sure you’re up to date with your COVID-19 vaccine/booster. More information here: https://t.co/vfBEwLkpoK.

Next week, Onondaga County will host a Moderna booster clinic at the Civic Center. The clinic is by appointment only. Residents can make appointments on the Onondaga County website. The recommended wait is at least two months after a person's last booster to receive their next one.
