Rockland County Activates Emergency Operations Center To Manage COVID-19 Vaccine Waitlist
POMONA, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) - Rockland County has activated its emergency operations center to help manage the county's senior COVID-19 vaccine waitlist.
Earlier this year, the county's Office for the Aging created a call center to help older residents navigate the vaccine appointment process.
The office faced a flood of calls from people needing help.
Its director says this latest step will help their mission to get seniors registered for vaccinations.
