Each week New York State publishes how many vaccinations have been allocated to each county. For the most recent information about the vaccines allocated to sites in Rockland County, go to https://rocklandgov.com/departments/health/coronavirus-covid-19/vaccine-allocation/
To access appointment information by phone contact the Office for the Aging at 845-364-2110.
Rockland residents age 65-plus can sign up on the Senior COVID-19 VACCINE waitlist in two ways. 1) Call the Rockland County Office for the Aging at 845-364-2110. The lines are staffed from 8 AM to 5 PM Monday through Friday except holidays. 2) Sign up at http://rcklnd.us/c19-waitlist.
Rockland County has activated its Emergency Operations Center to help people age 65 and older find COVID-19 vaccines. The county took this step because of the frustration people 65 and older are experiencing trying to get vaccine appointments. Staff from 19 country departments are pitching in to help the Office for the Aging manage the response. It will now be easier to get through by phone to get the following help: The Office for the Aging staff helps seniors book appointments anywhere, including at “pharmacies, health centers or state-run mass vaccination sites like the one at Westchester County Center. Staff will help arrange transportation, if needed. And an Office for the Aging staff member often goes to local pharmacies to help during vaccination clinics“ (Nancy Cutler, The Rockland/ Westchester Journal News, Feb. 24&25, 2021).
