Earlier this year, United Health Services unveiled a New York State Southern Tier Regional COVID-19 Vaccination website at www.nyuhs.org/southerntiervax. It shows a county-by-county look where doses are available at pharmacies, hospitals and local health departments statewide, and also includes links for how to make an appointment at each facility.

For years, Betty Sigala spoke to her family about her death: she didn’t want to be put on a machine and she didn’t want to die alone.
When she was admitted in June to the COVID-19 care ward at her local hospital, her family refused a ventilator. One of her grandsons convinced the nurses to ignore the no visitors rule and let him in.
