Press release<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Orleans County has been working diligently to distribute the limited supply of vaccine received in their continued response to the COVID-19 pandemic. To date, the County, Orleans Community Health and Oak Orchard Health Center have been administering the vaccine mostly to Priority Group 1A. With the recent addition of Priority Group 1B and the addition of those aged 65 and older, the supply of vaccine is not meeting the demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAt this time, Orleans County would like to ensure the public that we are working tirelessly to administer the limited doses we have on hand immediately, and we will continue to get vaccine to the qualifying populations in the most efficient and equitable manner possible,\u201d stated Lynne Johnson, Orleans County Legislature Chairwoman. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs the quantity of available vaccine doses increases and we begin to have some confidence in delivery amounts and timing from the State, the County will communicate with those in the priority groups and the general public to notify them of vaccination opportunities. In the meantime we are asking our residents, to be patient.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We ask those who are 65 and older, now part of Priority Group 1B, to use the State Vaccine site for information on clinic information: https:\/\/covid19vaccine.health.ny.gov\/. Pharmacies and other sites that are part of the \u201cretail network\u201d are working to provide vaccine to this population. Keep checking the site as many of the pharmacies haven\u2019t received vaccine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
