PEOPLE 65+: NYS has recently directed that CCDOH will again be provided vaccine for people 65+. Additionally, The Federal government/NYS have directed that pharmacies will be the primary provider of the COVID vaccine for 65+ people. 65+ people are encouraged to also check with their local pharmacy to determine when they will have vaccine appointments available. For pharmacies providing the vaccine in the Capital Region area go to: https://capitalregionalrx.com/vaccination/. S...pecific pharmacies will have their own way to register or make an appointment to get the vaccine. This is not done through CCDOH. 65+ people (or ANY eligible county resident who is home-bound) who can not travel to a pharmacy or POD, or has no access or someone who can assist them with accessing the internet, may call the Columbia County COVID-19 Vaccine Information Line: 518-697-5560, Monday Friday 9am-4pm. Your information will be taken for possible future mobile POD operations. If you are contacted by a pharmacy or can otherwise obtain the vaccine, you should DO IT. Please don’t feel you have to wait to be contacted by Columbia County, since this may not happen if pharmacies are required to have a plan for visiting homes. See more
