Please complete the Rapid COVID-19  Test Intake Form<\/a> and bring it with you to your appointment.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SCAM Alert<\/strong>: We received word that several older adults in the Rochester area were called. The caller said for a small price they could get them an appointment to be vaccinated. No hassle. No worries. The caller \u201cgave them an appointment\u201d and told them to go to the State-run vaccination site in Rochester. When they arrived, they didn\u2019t have an appointment. Lost $100. Please note NO ONE is to ask for money to set up COVID-19 Vaccine Registration! If you get a call from someone saying they can get you an appointment for a \u2018small\u2019 amount of money, hang up, it is a scam!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CV19 CheckUp<\/strong>: Learn about what your risk is to get COVID-19 and how to limit your risk. CV19 CheckUp is free, confidential, and easy to use. It is designed to help you be safer and healthier during the COVID-19 pandemic. https:\/\/newyork.cv19checkup.org\/ <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

211 Now Available for COVID-19 Info<\/strong>: Individuals across our region can now call 211 to get COVID-19 information and clinic updates (scheduling appointments through 211 is not available at this time). When calling 211, individuals should choose the \u201cCOVID information\u201d prompt to get connected with a staff member who can assist. The hotline is open 24\/7. To avoid long wait times, please encourage individuals to call outside of normal business hours. A call-back function is also available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently what limited supply of vaccine the County Health Departments receive are targeted for specific audiences as per NY State requirements\/guidance. As this changes and we receive more vaccine to our counties we hope we will be able to further open up vaccine clinics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this time all appointments are full, however we encourage you to keep monitoring in case people have canceled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To check for vaccination clinics in Genesee and Orleans Counties please go to: http:\/\/bit.ly\/GOHealthVaccine<\/a> For more information about the vaccine and access for those who are 65 and older who do NOT have internet access, please contact your respective Office for the Aging (OFA). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Genesee OFA please call 585-813-2457 for COVID-19 Vaccine assistance between 9:00 a.m. \u2013 4:00 p.m. and leave a message if you get voicemail and someone will return the call. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Orleans OFA please call 585-589-3191 between 9:30 a.m. \u2013 4:30 p.m. and leave a message if you get voicemail and someone will return the call. The OFA offices can only assist with the clinic links as they are available. The system may experience slowdowns and crashing due to high volume. Please be patient and try again later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The NYS Department of Health has set up various opportunities for vaccination. As of January 11, 2021, New Yorkers in Phase 1a and segments of Phase 1b are eligible for the vaccines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ALL VACCINATIONS ARE BY ONLINE APPOINTMENT ONLY. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eligible groups include doctors, nurses and health care workers, people age 65 and over, first responders, teachers, public transit workers, grocery store workers and public safety workers. Residents and staff at nursing homes and other long-term care facilities will continue to be vaccinated through a federal program, which the state is providing resources to accelerate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

o People age 65 and over will primarily be vaccinated at pharmacies and other sites that are part of the \u201cretail network.\u201d Please go to your pharmacy website for more information on vaccine availability and to make appointments. Do not call the pharmacies for COVID-19 vaccine as they do not have the staff to handle the calls. Currently, by direction of NY State, pharmacies can only provide COVID-19 vaccine to those 65 and older. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

o Health care workers who are part of Phase 1a will continue to be vaccinated at hospitals and other clinical settings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

o Public employees (for example, police departments, public school teachers and MTA employees) will primarily be vaccinated through their groups\u2019 relevant health programs or as organized by their unions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

o County Public Health Clinics are under the guidance of the state and must prioritize the essential worker population 1B group. To see who are currently included in the 1A and 1B priority groups go to: https:\/\/apps.health.ny.gov\/doh2\/applinks\/cdmspr\/2\/counties?OpID=50500884<\/a> To check eligibility go to https:\/\/am-i-eligible.covid19vaccine.health.ny.gov\/.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The local vaccine availability is limited and determined by the state. For more information on when it will be available for the general public keep checking our website: http:\/\/bit.ly\/GOHealthVaccine <\/a>or the NYS Department of Health website: https:\/\/covid19vaccine.health.ny.gov\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
