CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY, N.Y. — As many are calling for more vaccine sites to be added in Western New York's rural counties, CVS had a spot of bright news about the federal vaccine program locally.
CVS says it is bringing more pharmacies online as vaccination sites in New York state on Saturday, March 13, including in Chautauqua County.
The pharmacy chain says that 37 sites will be added to its existing 44 sites, making for a total of 81 CVS locations you can get vaccinated at in New York State.
The new vaccine locations will be in Bronx, Chautauqua, Kings, Monroe, Nassau, Orange, Queens, Rensselaer, Rockland, Schenectady, Suffolk, and Westchester. CVS did not list which locations or how many would come online in each county.
