Welcome to Washington County, New York.  One of 62 counties in the State of New York, Washington County was founded as Charlotte County in 1772 and later named after our first president in 1784.  With 30 departments ranging from the approximately 200 employees of Pleasant Valley and 140 employees of the Department of Social Services to the one member of the Department of Weights and Measures, Washington County is charged with providing necessary and incidental services to its 62,000 citizens.

Washington County is governed by a Board of Supervisors (B.O.S.) which is comprised of the town supervisors from each of the County's 17 towns.  Votes are calculated on a weighted basis reflecting the population base of each town.  The Board of Supervisors is the chief legislative and executive body of the County and makes the laws and resolutions which govern the County's operations.

Washington County Public Health Info: H1N1 FLU  Information Update.

A White House nurse prepares to administer the H1N1 vaccine to President Barack Obama
December 20, 2009. (Official White House Photo by Pete Souza)"People need to understand that this vaccine is safe," President Obama said. * "Michelle and I just got the shots ourselves... we wanted to make sure nationwide that children were getting it before adults did. And now there's enough vaccine so that adults should get it as well."

WHO SHOULD GET VACCINATED AGAINST H1N1 FLU?

H1N1 vaccination is now recommended for ALL New Yorkers over 6 months of age, not just those in the initial priority groups. This includes senior citizens age 65 and older.

AM I ELIGIBLE TO GET THE H1N1 FLU VACCINE?

Yes. New York State is now making the vaccine available to ALL New Yorkers. During the first phase of New York’s statewide vaccination campaign, when supplies of vaccine were limited, the State designated the H1N1 vaccine for priority groups considered at highest risk of serious illness and complications from the flu and those at risk of transmitting the flu to vulnerable individuals. Now that there is an adequate supply of vaccine, the State has expanded access to the vaccine to ALL New Yorkers.

NOW IS THE TIME TO GET VACCINATED!

The H1N1 flu season is far from over. H1N1 flu activity is still widespread in New York State. Typically, the most flu activity occurs from January through March, and the flu season runs until May. Getting vaccinated now will provide protection for you against H1N1 flu for the rest of the season this winter and spring. 

THE H1N1 VACCINE IS SAFE. 

The H1N1 vaccine will NOT make you sick, but the flu WILL. Like the seasonal flu vaccine, the H1N1 vaccine has a very good safety record. Most people who receive the H1N1 flu don’t experience any symptoms afterwards; some feel a temporary mild soreness in the arm. The nasal spray vaccine is also safe, effective, and easy to use.

WHERE CAN I GET THE VACCINE?

The vaccine is available from many health care providers, community health centers, and now pharmacies. Check www.flu.gov to see if any vaccine clinics are scheduled at retail outlets near you.

Check the Public Health Clinic page for more information.
