Tioga County\u2019s Legislative Chairwoman, Martha Sauerbrey, extended her sympathies and thoughts to the families during these difficult times.<\/p>\n<p>And as vaccines being appearing, most residents are struggling to line up for a shot in the arm &#8211; mostly due to vaccine supply.<\/p>\n<p>Governor Andrew M. Cuomo announced last week that 35 community-based pop-up vaccination sites were coming online at churches, community centers, public housing complexes and cultural centers. These sites, according to Governor Cuomo\u2019s announcement, were expected to vaccinate over&nbsp;25,000 people throughout the week, with more sites coming online every week.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>But many are struggling to get an appointment for a vaccine, especially those with limited or no Internet capabilities or access.<\/p>\n<p>We will cover more on the vaccine process as it moves forward. Currently, and when vaccines arrive for the groups that qualify, Tioga County\u2019s Public Health will post that there are vaccine openings. They have cautioned, however, that the slots fill up quickly.<\/p>\n<p>The best place to go for vaccine information is <a href=\"https:\/\/covid19vaccine.health.ny.gov\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/covid19vaccine.health.ny.gov<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/am-i-eligible.covid19vaccine.health.ny.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/am-i-eligible.covid19vaccine.health.ny.gov\/<\/a>.&nbsp;Once deemed eligible, a list of available vaccines and locations will appear.
