COVID-19 Vaccine Availability for Youth 12 and Up

 


Beginning today, Thursday May 13, the Health Department began serving all people 12 years and older with COVID vaccinations. Only Pfizer is approved for use for people 12 to 18 so it is a two-shot regimen. The importance for employees is if they were planning on a cruise, having their child attend camp or any other place of congregation vaccinations may be required to be completed. For example, the Buffalo Bills home opener in football is reserved for vaccinated people only.

Vaccinations are offered every weekday until 1:00 except Wednesday when the clinic runs to 4:30. Appointments are encouraged but walk-ins are accommodated if vaccine is available (Pfizer must be thawed to be used). County employees who get vaccinated are entitled to a gift card for $25 for getting vaccinated and an additional $50 if the series is completed at the Health Department.
