Lewis County Public Health will be setting up three COVID-19 vaccine clinics for the week of
January 11th – 16th. At this time, vaccine registration is open ONLY to individuals who qualify in
Phase 1A and Phase 1B of the New York State Vaccine Distribution Plan.

A list of eligible individuals is attached to this release, and can be found on the State’s COVID-
19 Website. Only those individuals who live or work in Lewis County are eligible to attend this
week’s clinics.

Clinics will be held at the following locations:

access and those ages 75 and older can call the County’s vaccine registration hotline,
(315) 376-9777. A County employee will register you for an appointment.

Eligible individuals with reliable internet access are encouraged register online, freeing up phone
lines for the older individuals and those without internet access.

Please note that proof of eligibility will be required at the time of your appointment. Those who
fail to register for an appointment and provide proof of eligibility will be turned away at the
door.

Proof of eligibility includes workplace ID, workplace pay stub, or written proof of employment
from your employer. For those 75+ year-olds, an ID containing date of birth will suffice.
