The Monroe County Health Department says it is no longer opening new COVID-19 vaccination appointments at this time due to vaccine availability.
This means some changes are coming for those with appointments this week at the Monroe County Fleet Center.
All previously scheduled vaccinations at the Fleet Center will be administered on Monday and Tuesday only this week.
"The Monroe County Department of Public Health is expecting an allocation of approximately 1,500 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine this week, which is enough to fulfill previously scheduled appointments of essential workers. At this time, we are not in a position to offer additional appointments until more vaccine becomes available," Monroe County Executive Adam Bello and Public Health Commission Dr. Michael Mendoza said in a joint statement.
"Our goal has been to ensure Monroe County’s capacity to administer the vaccine outpaces the available supply. We’ve reached that point this week, and hope that additional supply becomes available as manufacturing and distribution increase," the statement continued.
