On Tuesday June 15, starting at 1:30 PM until approximately 4:00 PM, the Chautauqua County Health Department will be returning to the CVCS M/HS Library to provide second doses of Pfizer vaccine to those who were vaccinated on May 25th. All those who received their first dose on May 25 have been automatically registered to get their second dose on June 15. No additional paperwork is necessary. The first consent covers both doses in the series. If you have anyone who is still needing a first dose, they can get it on June 15 , but they will be responsible for checking the Chautauqua County Dept. of Health website for second dose clinics or contacting local pharmacies or the Chautauqua Center to get a second dose. Anyone needing a first dose must complete the on-line registration at https://apps2.health.ny.gov/doh2/applinks/cdmspr/2/counties?DateID=C44722BA37510350E0530A6C7C159F1F. The Health Dept. will also need a consent form for any minors looking for their first dose. Additionally, the Chautauqua County Health Dept. will be continuing the drive-through COVID-19 vaccination clinics at the bus garage on Tuesday, June 15 and Tuesday, June 22, from 4:30 PM - 6:30 PM. If you have any questions, contact the Chautauqua County Health Department directly.
