Vaccine Update: Both counties are offering vaccination clinic registration via phone – these numbers are for COVID Vaccination Registration ONLY.
In Genesee call (585) 815-7168.
In Orleans call (585) 589-3170.
For both numbers ask for the vaccine registration help line. The vaccine registration help line is NOT associated with either Public Health Department. The individuals who answer the phone can ONLY assist with registering for a COVID-19 clinic, they cannot answer COVID-related questions.
ALL New Yorkers 16 and over are eligible to get the COVID-19 vaccine. Visit the GO Health Vaccination Page (http://bit.ly/GOHealthVaccination) to check for upcoming Vaccination Clinics.
All of our clinics are targeted for Genesee and Orleans County residents but open to residents who live, work and/or study in New York State.
Once you are fully vaccinated you will be able to travel without testing, attend large gatherings without testing, go to prom, high school/college graduations without testing, attend professional sporting events without testing and so much more. The best thing is that if you are exposed to someone who tests positive for COVID-19 you will NOT have to quarantine! Until more people are vaccinated we have to continue to wear face masks/coverings when out in public, limit time in public and large gatherings and of course, continue to wash/sanitize your hands frequently.
