Vaccine Delivery to NYS and Chautauqua County
- December 2020: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an emergency use authorization (EUA) to two COVID-19 vaccines.
- The federal government has distributed vaccine to nursing home residents and staff across the country. Beyond that, state governments work with the federal CDC which oversees a centralized system to order, distribute and track COVID-19 vaccine. More information on vaccination in NYS can be found at https://covid19vaccine.health.ny.gov/.
- It could be up to several months before the general public has access to a COVID-19 vaccine. Chautauqua County is actively planning for vaccine distribution. Please stay updated by watching press conferences and announcements from New York State and Chautauqua County.
