ERIE COUNTY, N.Y. Erie County announced Tuesday that the Erie County Department of Health has launched an online system to help residents schedule COVID-19 vaccine appointments at county sites.
Anyone looking for an appointment can access the system online here.
Those 16 years old and older must first fill out a series of screening questions and register their information in the system. From there, you will be able to select an appointment date and location. The system will then send you a confirmation email containing your appointment information, as well as instructions about rescheduling or canceling the appointment.

Erie County health officials are seeing a surge in COVID infections among students.
In an afternoon briefing Tuesday, County Health Commissioner Dr. Gale Burstein said there were 421 reported cases last week, when almost all schools were on break, and 87 cases already Tuesday before the briefing began. We were expecting for last week a very small number of school-related case reports because the schools weren’t obligated to report, Burstein said. However, despite that, we still saw a significant number of school reports, actually the second highest number when the first highest was the week before.
Earlier in the pandemic, common belief was that kids couldn’t get COVID. The health commissioner said it is now clear that isn’t true and they can get very sick.
