Residents
Many free or low-cost services are available to residents through the Clinical Services and Communicable Disease Control division, as well as referrals to appropriate community resources. Public health nurses are also available to provide information on health-related issues.
Covid-19
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve as variants develop and new information about the virus is discovered by state, federal and global scientists. Protect yourself and your loved ones by staying informed on local disease trends and taking the recommended precautions.
The health department utilizes disease surveillance and investigation to prevent the spread of communicable diseases in the community. The Nursing division collaborates with health care providers, schools, and the community to minimize illness, hospitalization, and death from communicable diseases through public outreach, education, and vaccinations.
Communicable diseases are illnesses that can be transmitted from person to person or animal to person. People spread communicable diseases to others in a variety of ways:
Contact with contaminated body fluids. For example, a common way respiratory illnesses like whooping cough (Pertussis) are transmitted is through contact with contaminated body fluids.
Eating contaminated foods or beverages. Foodborne illnesses like salmonella are often spread by eating contaminated foods.
With any communicable disease, it is important to understand how the illness is transmitted and use appropriate preventative measures, such as handwashing and covering your cough.
If you suspect a foodborne illness, please contact a healthcare provider.

Rabies will result in death if it is left untreated in humans and domestic pet mammals. If a county resident (or visitor) has a potential rabies exposure, trained rabies program staff makes a decision regarding treatment. Nurses work with area health care providers and the exposed individuals to ensure accurate and timely completion of Rabies Post-Exposure Prophylaxis.
Nurses and environmental staff work with the local hospital and area health care providers to follow county residents through their Rabies prophylaxis regimen and completion of this protocol, in addition to providing educational presentations to the community as needed.

The Putnam County Department of Health partnered with Putnam AdvoCats, Inc. to create a Feral Cat Taskforce which involves the trapping, neutering, vaccinating and release of feral cats in the area. This is an attempt to address a growing health concern in the county. Feral cats are cats that do not have owners and may be strays and account for a significant number of required rabies treatments. The Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) concept is a humane and effective approach used for decades in the US after being proven in
Europe. Scientific studies show that this practice improves the lives of feral cats, improves their relationships with the people who live near them, and decreases the size of colonies over time. Working with volunteers from Putnam AdvoCats, Inc., and area veterinarians, the ultimate goal is to decrease the population of feral cats in our community over time and thereby reducing the risk of rabies. For help with feral cats or to report a feral cat colony, please call the health department at 845-808-1390.

Pet Owner F.A.Q.s
What pet owners need to know about Rabies vaccination requirements
State law requires rabies vaccinations (shots) for all cats, dogs and domesticated ferrets.
Effective November 20, 2002, this information must be provided by pet dealers to consumers upon point of sale of cats, dogs, and ferrets.
Fines
If your dog, cat or domesticated ferret is not vaccinated, is not up-to-date on its vaccinations, or is not properly confined after biting someone, as the owner you will be subject to a fine not to exceed $200 for each offense.
Exemptions
The vaccination requirements shall not apply to any dog, cat, domesticated ferret if the animal is transported through New York state and remains in the state 15 days or less; the animal is confined to the premises of an incorporated society devoted to the care of lost, stray or homeless animals; a licensed veterinarian has determined that the vaccination will adversely affect the animal’s health; the animal is confined to the premises of a college or other educational or research institution for research purposes; or if the animal is un-owned (feral, wild, not socialized).
When should my pet receive its first Rabies vaccination?
The law requires that your pet’s first rabies vaccination be given no later than four months after its date of birth. Many rabies vaccines are licensed for use at three months, although some may be given at younger ages.
When should my pet receive its second Rabies vaccination?
Your pet should receive its second rabies vaccination within one year after the first vaccination. The second rabies shot and all shots thereafter are sometimes called booster shots.
When is the booster shot due?
After the second rabies shot, your pet only needs to get additional booster shots every three years, as long as the vaccination clinic or your veterinarian is using a rabies vaccine licensed for three years.
What proof will I have that my pet received its rabies shots?
The veterinarian, or a person under the veterinarian’s supervision, will provide you with a certificate as proof that your pet has been vaccinated. The veterinarian’s office will also keep a copy of your pet’s vaccination certificate. The law requires the veterinarian to provide the vaccination certificate to any public health official for any case involving your dog, cat or ferret that may have been exposed to rabies, or in any case of possible exposure of a person or another animal to rabies.
What if my pet needs to be taken to the veterinarian?
Whenever you bring your pet to a veterinarian, they will verify if the animal is up-to-date on its rabies shots. If the animal is not up-to-date on its rabies shots or is exempt due to a medical condition, or if the veterinarian cannot find proof of the animal’s rabies vaccination history, you may request your pet be vaccinated at that time.
If my pet bites a person, does it have to be euthanized?
If your pet bites a person and you wish to avoid euthanizing and testing it for rabies, it must be confined and observed for ten days. During the ten-day confinement period, the county or a designated party must verify that your pet is under confinement and observation, and has remained healthy during and at the end of the ten-day period.

Public beaches in Putnam County are closed for the season. Check back in late Spring 2026.
How to Recognize HABs
A harmful algae bloom (HAB) can be different colors. It may be blue-green, or plain green, yellow, brown, or red. It may have a scum on the water surface, or at the shore line. Large blooms often look unnatural—look like paint has been spilled into the water.
If you see something you think may be blue-green algae, tell the beach operator, staff or lifeguard. The Putnam County Department of Health should be notified at 845-808-1390 as well.
These are HABs
These are NOT HABs
About HABs
About Blue Green Algae
Blue-green algae is the popular name for a group of tiny, single-celled organisms, or cyanobacteria. They occur naturally in lakes, streams, and oceans. Some blue-green algae produce toxins. Under certain conditions, blue-green algae can grow rapidly and cause a harmful “bloom,” which discolors the water or produces floating scums.
A harmful algae bloom (HAB) can cause health effects in people and animals. This may happen when a person’s skin touches the algae bloom, or when water is swallowed or droplets are inhaled. These blooms can also be a major hazard to drinking water supplies.
Protect your family from HABs
If you see an algal bloom, do not go in the water. Keep children and pets out of the water. This includes waterskiing and other recreational water sports because contaminated spray and droplets can be inhaled and cause problems. If you or your pets do go in water that has an algal bloom, wash yourself or your pets off immediately afterwards with tap water.
Do not use untreated lake water for drinking, brushing teeth, cooking, and bathing. Boiling the water will NOT kill the toxins produced by the blue-green algae. Instead it can actually elevate the toxin levels.
HABs can appear suddenly and without warning. Obey all beach closure signs at your local beach. The NYS Department of Environmental Conservation also updates a list of HAB notifications in the state on a weekly basis and in an archive
Your pets are at risk
Dogs also swallow more water than humans while swimming and playing. Dogs are not bothered by water that looks bad or smells and will go in contaminated water.

Emergency Preparedness
The Putnam County Department of Health plays a vital role in emergency preparedness. Health department staff plan for a variety of public health emergencies and perform drills to refine the response. Planning is coordinated with wide-ranging community partners, all with an interest in keeping residents and organizations safe and healthy. Following a public health emergency or event, health department staff are called upon to participate in a coordinated response. Preparing for public health emergencies builds resiliency and helps to protect residents from disease outbreaks and other hazards due to contaminated food and water, chemical releases, natural disasters, unmet medical needs and biological events.
Make a Plan
Be prepared by making a plan before an emergency:
Start by having a discussion with your family, friends, or household. Talk about how you plan to receive emergency alerts or warnings, your shelter plans, your evacuation route and your emergency kit.
Consider specific needs in your household. Tailor your plan to specific daily living needs of your family. Consider special needs, responsibilities, pets, children, disabilities, and languages spoken.
Start your kit by gathering food, water, and other supplies to last several days. Your kit should be one or two easy to carry containers like plastic bins. Store your kit in a cool, dry place. Rethink your needs each year and make sure to replace expired food.
Basic supplies include:
Water: 1 gal/person per day
Food: 3 day supply of non-perishables
Battery or hand crank radio
Flashlight
First Aid Kit
Extra Batteries
Fire extinguisher
Can opener
Extra supplies may include:
Hand sanitizer
Disinfecting wipes
Prescription and non-prescription medications
Infant formula, bottles, diapers and wipes
Pet food
Other items to include in your emergency kit can be found at www.ready.gov/kit.
Stay Informed
Familiarize yourself with the kinds of emergencies or disasters that might occur in your area. In Putnam County, it is usually extreme weather like tropical storms, tornadoes, or a nor’easter.
Before, during, and after an emergency, following directions from local authorities can keep you safe. Stay informed by signing up for New York Alerts at alert.ny.gov.
