We are currently scheduling Point of Dispensing (POD) mass vaccination
drive-through clinics. Links for pre-registration are updated on a
week to week basis based on vaccine availability. If appointments

experiencing any errors with registration.
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 three key Point of Dispensing (POD) sites
to conduct drive-through 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.
Eligibility and Registration
Two key steps for securing an appointment for COVID-19 at one of our
PODs:
Step 1:
Determine if you are eligible for vaccination (visit the following
link if you are unsure
https://covid19vaccine.health.ny.gov/.) and schedule an appointment. For Niagara County DOH PODs,
vaccinations are available by appointment only by registering via the
links provided below. It is important to follow all directions
included in the pre-registration link:
https://apps.health.ny.gov/doh2/applinks/cdmspr/2/counties?OpID=50502565.
Please continue to check back for appointment availability as slots
are made available based on current vaccine inventory.
Step 2:
Complete the New York State COVID-19 Vaccine Form here:
https://forms.ny.gov/s3/vaccine.
This form can be completed online and you will receive a submission ID
upon completion. Please print out the page (or save a screenshot on
your phone) and bring it with you to the POD. You will also need to
bring proof of eligibility such as an employee ID card, letter from an
employer or affiliated organization, or a pay stub, depending on the
specific priority status.
People age 65 and over will
primarily be vaccinated at pharmacies and other sites that are part of
the “retail network.” Use the
NYS online tool
to find a location. The COVID-19 Vaccination Hotline is open 7AM -
10PM, 7 days a week, for scheduling vaccination appointments for
eligible New Yorkers: 1-833-NYS-4-VAX
(1-833-697-4829).

How will I receive vaccination?
Open Point of Dispensing (POD)
The NCDOH has identified key Point of Dispensing (POD) sites to
conduct drive-through mass vaccination operations in Niagara County.
Open PODs are sites open to the general public to quickly,
efficiently and accurately receive vaccination. These sites are
staffed by county employees as well as volunteers. Vaccine is
available for priority groups identified by NYS. As phases begin to
open up for generation population, site days/times and registration
information will be made available to those priority groups.
Vaccine will be provided to individuals based on the priorities and
distributions as directed by the New York State Department of
Health.
