Monroe County Executive Adam Bello is pleased to announce that the Monroe County Department of Public Health is partnering with the YMCA of Greater Rochester to host pop-up COVID-19 vaccination clinics at YMCA locations in the four quadrants of Monroe County. Each YMCA clinic will have the capacity to distribute more than 100 total first doses of the vaccine in the 6-hour window.
“I would like to thank our partners at the YMCA of Greater Rochester along with our local YMCA branches for their collaboration on this critical initiative to vaccinate Monroe County,” Bello says. “It is imperative that we continue to bring the vaccine closer to neighborhoods and familiar environments, and our YMCA branches offer great access to people across our county.”
“The Y is proud to partner with Monroe County to make vaccines more accessible, in places that many people in our community know and feel comfortable going,” says George Romell, President & CEO of the YMCA of Greater Rochester. “As a nonprofit human services organization, access to combat health disparities is part of our mission. We look forward to continuing to meet the needs of our community in new and different ways.”
