Press release
The Genesee and Orleans County Health Departments (GO Health) have first dose Moderna vaccination clinics with appointments available targeting those who are 18 and older and open for any New York State individuals, who
reside, work or study in the state.
“We have first dose Moderna vaccination clinics scheduled on Tuesday, April 27th at the Ridgeway Fire Hall, Route 104, Medina; and on Wednesday, April 28 th at the Athletic Center at GCC Batavia Campus Center,” stated Paul
Pettit, Public Health Director for GO Health.
“These clinics are open to anyone who is 18 and older. We want to see all of these clinics filled up with
those who can also commit to returning for the second dose of the Moderna vaccine 28 days later. Walk-ins will be accepted at both clinics from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.”
To register for testing go to the GO Health testing page: http://bit.ly/GOHealthC19Tests and choose your preferred clinic location. Follow the directions.
Currently in New York, being fully vaccinated will begin to offer opportunities that have been limited for the past year. Anyone who is fully vaccinated (2 weeks after the J&J vaccine or the second dose of Pfizer and Moderna) will be
able to participate in various activities without having to be tested for entry for events such as professional sports, weddings with over 100 guests, proms, graduations and more. Also, when fully vaccinated, the individual will not have
to quarantine if they are exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. Most importantly, you are protecting your health along with others you come in contact with.
Visit the vaccination web page at https://bit.ly/GOHealthVaccine. Choose either the GCC Moderna Clinic or the Orleans Moderna Clinic button and follow the directions. Keep the link handy, as there will be other clinics
moving forward. The buttons are live when we have that particular vaccine available. If the clinic
is full or we do not have vaccine, it will show ‘No Appointments Available.’ Please share this information with family, friends, co-workers and social groups.
For those who do not have internet they can call the GO Health Vaccine Registration Help Lines:
