SCHENECTADY – Due to a steady decrease in use, Schenectady County’s COVID-19 vaccine POD and testing site at the McClellan Street Health Campus will phase out starting in April, to three days a week, with the last day being May 12, the county said this week.
The county has provided no-cost COVID-19 vaccines and testing at the campus five days a week since January 2022. Fewer residents are now accessing the services through the county’s Public Health Services, prompting the decision to condense the schedule to three days
a week from April 1 to May 12, and then continue offering COVID-19 vaccines only at public health service’s vaccine POD at Schenectady Community Ministries on Friday afternoons.
No lab testing will be available through the county after May 12.
The current schedule for vaccine PODs and COVID-19 testing:
Ellis Medicine McClellan Street Health Campus, 600 McClellan St. in Schenectady
Dates: Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays (until May 12)
Times: 9 a.m. to noon p.m. Walk-in service, no appointment required.
