I am eligible for the vaccine, where can I make my appointment for my first dose?

Supply is limited and demand is high. It may take a bit of time for you to get an appointment. Those who are eligible can try to get an appointment at one of the New York State run sites, which includes those who are 65 years old and older. Pharmacies can also provide vaccine by appointment to people 65 years and older.

New York State Clinics (including the Fairgrounds)
To make an appointment at a New York State-run vaccine site, “Am I Eligible” tool or call the New York State Vaccination Hotline, 1.833.NYS.4VAX (1.833.697.4829).

Cayuga County Health Department Clinic 
Clinics are NOT open to the general public at this time. If you are currently eligible to receive the vaccine, please work with your employer or call your City, Town or Village clerk for assistance in our county to identify where you may receive vaccine. With the vaccine supply being limited and the demand being high the Cayuga County Health Department is working with worksites to coordinate vaccinating eligible employees.
