COVID vaccine from Moderna expected in Cattaraugus County next week

OLEAN — The first coronavirus vaccine to protect Cattaraugus County’s front-line hospital workers and nursing home employees and residents from COVID-19 is expected to arrive next week at Olean General Hospital and several nursing homes. Dr. Kevin D. Watkins, public health director, said Monday a little over 1,000 people will be the first to receive the Moderna vaccine in this county. Larger hospitals in New York and around the country began receiving the first Pfizer vaccine to administer to medical staff on Monday. While Olean General Hospital has the super-cold freezer necessary to receive the first vaccine approved for emergency use from the federal Food and Drug Administration, the vaccine is packed in lots of 1,000 doses, which is more than the hospital needs to vaccinate staff, Watkins said.
