Fire Island

On Friday, Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone announces the next round of over 1,700 doses of the monkeypox vaccine. Vaccines are by appointment only.

Health officials announced that Suffolk County will receive more doses of the monkeypox vaccine after appointments for the first batch of 750 filled up in just a few hours on Monday.

All available appointments to receive the monkeypox vaccine in Suffolk County filled up within hours of scheduling appointments on Monday.

The general consensus from residents is that they want a balance — allow for some more cars, but not an unlimited amount, according to officials.

A plan would grant unlimited driving permits to full-time Fire Island residents. Police have released a 911 call related to the Gilgo Beach murders, a new state program in Connecticut will help provide mortgage relief, and federal law meant to help Coast Guard members doesn’t fly in all states.

The number of white-tailed deer in the area is decreasing the amount of available habitat on the barrier island for other animals like turkeys, rabbits and birds of prey.
