Please note that these clinics are ONLY for the FIRST dose of the Moderna vaccine. Second doses of Modern or Pfizer should be obtained from the facility that provided your first dose.
Anyone who received a first dose of vaccine at a clinic run by the Chautauqua County Health Department will be receiving an email with registration information for the second dose.

65 and Older?
Pharmacies are only permitted to vaccinate persons 65 years of age and older. Rite Aid and Tops pharmacies in Chautauqua County have received small allocations of vaccine from NYS and had planned to utilize the state’s Am I Eligible website and hotline to schedule appointments for vaccine administration.
Rite Aid is now working on other options to schedule appointments; more information is forthcoming.
Tops Pharmacies: appointments can be made here
Wegmans Pharmacy: The Lakewood pharmacy has not yet received vaccine. Please check their website for availability and to schedule once they receive vaccine, which may not be for a few weeks.
NY Connects: NY Connects is assisting individuals 65 and older to obtain a vaccine appointment. Contact NY Connects
_______________________________________
The Chautauqua County Health Department is administering every dose of vaccine that we have.
- No vaccine is being held back for any particular persons or groups.
- No vaccine is being held back for second doses as separate allocations of vaccine are promised from the federal/state government for this.
- As we get vaccine, more appointment times will be added and additional clinics will be scheduled.
The Chautauqua County Department of Health is NOT making vaccination appointments over the phone at this time. Please do not call or email our office for vaccine scheduling.

IMPORTANT CLINIC INFO:
- Arrive at your scheduled appointment time; do not arrive early.
- Wear a short-sleeved shirt.
- Bring proof of occupation or eligibility:
Individuals being administered vaccinate must produce proof of eligibility. Such proof may include:
-an employee ID card or badge
-a letter from an employer or affiliated organization
-a pay stub, depending on the specific priority status.
Do NOT sign up for an appointment if:
- You are currently COVID-19 positive or are in quarantine.
- You have received a different vaccine in the last 14 days (this includes flu and allergy shots).
- You have received monoclonal antibodies or convalescent plasma for treatment of COVID-19 in the last 90 days.
- You do not qualify for the current vaccination phase. Verification that you qualify must be provided at the clinic.
COVID-19 vaccination is a 2 dose vaccination process, with the second dose given 21 to 28 days after the first, dependent upon the brand of vaccine given. It is important for you to get both shots for the vaccine to work.
