With the start of summer, the New York State Department of Health is shutting down some mass COVID-19 vaccination sites.

At the same time, Albany County is reporting its lowest number of COVID cases and hospitalizations since April, following a severe uptick earlier this spring. The good news locally also comes as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced young children can begin to receive a COVID vaccine.

For an update, we spoke with Albany County Health Commissioner Dr. Elizabeth Whalen.
