Data is a snapshot of what is reported to us via different venues. Vaccination status is self-reported by the positive case or their
parent/guardian during the case investigation. Deaths related to COVID-19 are reported to our department in different ways,
Tioga County is not always notified when a death occurs. Various factors may impact the severity of one’s COVID-19 illness
including underlying health conditions and vaccination status. The COVID-19 vaccine offers protection against severe illness,
hospitalization, and death. We encourage eligible individuals to get vaccinated.
With viruses like the common cold, flu, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and COVID-19 spreading, Tioga County
Public Health wants to remind our community to follow these steps to keep yourself and your family healthy:

Yesterday the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccination received emergency use authorization for children ages 5 – 11. Those
looking to get their child vaccinated should contact their child’s health care provider or their pharmacy to schedule a
vaccination appointment. Vaccination continues to be the best form of protection against COVID-19. By getting
school aged children 5 years and older vaccinated, we can help prevent students from missing school when exposed
to a positive case (unless they start showing symptoms of COVID-19) and reduce the number the number of children
getting ill and spread the virus. To find a COVID-19 vaccination location, please visit https://www.vaccines.gov/.
