COVID-19 Vaccine

Vaccination is underway in Clinton County! 

Working with our partners at CVPH, the Clinton County Health Department (CCHD) is ready to begin our distribution plans for future tiers and phases as soon as more vaccine becomes available. We ask residents to be patient during this process. Vaccine distribution is done at the directive of the state and distribution of this size is complicated. As more vaccine becomes available in our area, CCHD will communicate who New York State has prioritized to receive it, and how they can get vaccinated.

Who is Eligible?

Eligibility is determined by New York State. The NYSDOH has indicated that, as of January 11, 2021, residents in Phase 1a and segments of Phase 1b are eligible for vaccination. Though groups may be eligible, we are currently restricted on who we are permitted to vaccinate and how many doses of vaccine we have available. Please be patient with this process, we will communicate how to register for your vaccination as soon as we are able to do so.
