BUFFALO, N.Y. — As many Western New Yorkers continue to report issues with finding appointments to get the COVID-19 vaccine, Congressman Brian Higgins (NY-26) announced more doses are headed to the region.
Currently, 250 clinics nationwide are set to receive a direct allocation of doses of the vaccine. Of those clinics, Higgins says two Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHC) in Western New York will be included.
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, the Jericho Road Ministries and the Neighborhood Health Center of WNY will both receive COVID-19 vaccines through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) vaccination program.
