According to Saratoga County Department of Health data as of Sept. 2, 2022, since the start of COVID-19 in 2020 there were a total of 427 fatalities to county residents. Of those: 35 were vaccinated and up-to-date with booster recommendations, 68 were vaccinated but not up-to-date with booster recommendations, and 256 were not vaccinated.
