COVID-19 Vaccination Clinics Coming Back In Western New York

While it may seem like things have been normal and there is nothing to worry about, the data from the World Health Organization (WHO), CDC, and New York State Department of Health says otherwise. The COVID-19 virus is still an issue, and while it's not at pandemic levels like it was five years ago, the virus is still active, and medical professionals all over the place still suggest you get a vaccine or booster.

In early September 2025, Governor Hochul issued an Executive Order to make it easier for New Yorkers to get the COVID-19 vaccine if they so chose, since the Federal Government had pulled back efforts to make immunizations available to Americans.

I promised New Yorkers that their family would be my fight. In the absence of federal leadership, we must do everything we can to ensure that New Yorkers have access to the vaccines and preventative healthcare they have come to rely on... By signing this executive order, we are sending a clear message that when Washington Republicans play politics with public health, New Yorkers can still get the care they need, close to home, from trusted providers in their own communities.
-Kathy Hochul, Governor of New York State

To help make it easier for people to get the shot if they want it, counties all over New York State have been hosting COVID-19 Vaccination Clinics at various locations around the state. That is happening right here in Erie County, and there are several dates and locations where people can be seen if they want.

There are at least 5 clinic days scheduled at community centers and other public gathering places around the Buffalo area over the next few weeks.

You can find a complete list here on the Erie County Department of Health website.
