Reed Helps Secure Mass Vaccination Center for Cattaraugus, Chautauqua, & Allegany Counties

Press Release

Today, Rep. Tom Reed is proud to announce a mass COVID-19 vaccination is coming online this week at Olean Jamestown Community College campus. The facility will be operational and accepting appointments for the end of the week.

"We care about making sure all New Yorkers -- including those in underserved communities chronically overlooked by Albany -- have fair access to life-saving COVID-19 vaccines," said Rep. Tom Reed. "We are glad to see the state reversed course and we will continue to fight to ensure the public health needs of Western New York are addressed and the region receives the additional support it deserves. As President Biden has indicated, we can achieve large-scale vaccination for much of the nation by May if we continue to work together."

Recently, Reed called on New York State to stop advocating against the interests of Western New York after an NBC report revealed the state denied the region the opportunity to receive a mass vaccination site despite federal data

The new vaccination site will serve residents of Cattaraugus, Allegany, and Chautauqua counties. Appointments are expected to be available online soon through the New York State Health Department website, which is available here.
