COVID-19 Vaccination
The Niagara County Department of Health (NCDOH) has long been
preparing for emergencies that impact the public’s health. With
emergency preparedness planning, training and exercising every year,
Niagara County is well positioned for a quick and vital vaccination
campaign. We have identified key Point of Dispensing (POD) sites to
conduct mass vaccination operations. PODs are sites where eligible
persons are invited to receive their COVID-19 vaccine in a quick,
efficient and accurate manner. These sites are staffed by county
employees as well as volunteers. Vaccine is available for priority
groups identified by New York State (NYS). Vaccine will be provided to
individuals based on the priorities and distributions as directed by
NYS.

Pfizer vaccine is currently approved for individuals 12 years of age and
older. Minor consent at Niagara County vaccination clinics is required
as follows:
For minors 16 or 17 years of age, a parent or legal guardian must
provide consent for vaccination. Such consent should be provided either
in person or by phone, at the time of the vaccine appointment.
For minors who are 12 to 15 years of age, additionally, an adult
caregiver should accompany the minor. If the adult caregiver is not the
parent/guardian, the adult caregiver should be designated by the
parent/guardian using the form here:
