Vaccination sites will vaccinate individuals 12 and older or 18 and older based on the vaccine they are administering:

  • Johnson and Johnson (Janssen) and Moderna vaccine are approved for those 18 and older.
  • Pfizer is approved for those 12 and older. 

Currently, Pfizer is administered at state-run sites which means those 12 years of age and older must be vaccinated there.  The closest state-run sites are in Plattsburgh and Potsdam. 

New York State is conducting COVID-19 vaccine clinics 7 days a week for eligible New Yorkers. Locally, two sites are available at SUNY Potsdam and Plattsburgh International Airport. If you are eligible for the vaccine you can sign up at https://am-i-eligible.covid19vaccine.health.ny.gov/.

Pharmacies in New York are offering the COVID -19 vaccine to those 60 and older, P-12 faculty and staff, and childcare workers.
