Rochester, New York — According to Monroe County Executive Adam Bello, beginning Wednesday, residents who are eligible will be able to get their third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine can do so at any county clinic.
According to the leaders, the booster shot is currently only available to those who are immunocompromised.
“As we changed our vaccination efforts over the last several months — to go from full large-scale vaccination sites down to real neighborhood-based vaccination clinics — we still did continue to have our regular sites that are available every day; a Fleet Center, and then we moved to the MCC downtown campus,” Bello said.
He said, “Again, we are prepared for if we then did have to scale up and offer additional vaccines.”
