Press release
The Genesee and Orleans County Health Departments have Pfizer and Moderna vaccination clinics with appointments available for Genesee and Orleans County residents.
Whichever COVID-19 vaccine is available is the right vaccine to get now!
All approved vaccines are effective and saves lives. We encourage anyone that is currently eligible to register for an upcoming clinic.
Vaccine is now available for people age 50 and older along with the existing priority groups (http://bit.ly/NYSPriorityGroups).
Pfizer is a 2-series dose, 21 days apart (3 weeks), and is recommended for people aged 16 and older.
Moderna is a 2-series dose, 28 days apart (4 weeks), and is recommended for people aged 18 and older.
It is important to note that you must be able to return for the second dose 21 days for Pfizer or 28 days for Moderna after the first dose at the location, you received your initial vaccination. You will be making that appointment after you are vaccinated. If you cannot make that date, please do not make an appointment for a 2-dose series until you can make both appointments.
Visit the vaccination web page at: https://bit.ly/GOHealthVaccine. Choose either the Moderna Clinic or the Pfizer Clinic button to make your appointment. When you register, it will also show which vaccine will be at the clinic during that day.
In Genesee County, the clinics are held at the Athletic Center at GCC in Batavia and in Orleans County, the clinics
are held at the Ridgeway Fire Hall in Medina.
If you are interested in making an appointment to get your COVID-19 vaccination, now is the time to do it locally!
