Erie County Legislator Joe Lorigo recently announced “Vax Visits” a new program available to eligible Erie County residents wishing to receive the COVID-19 vaccination.

When you sign up for a “Vax Visit,” a team will be sent to your home to vaccinate you and any eligible member of your household—free of charge.

Pfizer, Moderna and a limited supply of Johnson & Johnson vaccinations are provided by home nursing agencies or Erie County Department of Health staff.

To schedule an appointment, call the Erie County Department of Health at (716) 858-2929.

Legislator Lorigo said, “This program is smart. Erie County has the resources available to make home vaccinations happen for those who are unable to leave their homes or who don’t feel safe leaving their house just yet. Providing the option for Erie County residents to get vaccinated from home is a step in the right direction.”
