Syracuse, N.Y. All state-run Covid-19 vaccination sites are scheduled to be open as usual on Tuesday despite a big winter storm that could bring a foot of snow and freezing rain tonight and Tuesday morning.
Onondaga County is also scheduled to hold its regular clinic on Tuesday. A pair of counties in Western New York, expected to get hit hardest by the storm, have already postponed their appointments.
The New York state Department of Health runs 13 clinics, from Jones Beach, on Long Island, to the University at Buffalo. All of those are expected to open on time on Tuesday, said department spokeswoman Erin Silk. If the weather worsens and any of those clinics are postponed, she said, anyone with an appointment will get an email or text message rescheduling their appointment within seven days.

NIAGARA COUNTY, N.Y. (WKBW) â From directing traffic to putting shots in arms, volunteers aiding the Niagara County Department of Health are helping to get people the COVID-19 vaccine. We decided we could either sit on the sidelines or be part of the solution, Wesley Pickreign, a 65-year-old retired school principal, said, I want us to heal. I want us to get back to normal. I really feel that being here helps us do that as a community and I want to be able to help any way I can.
With a plummeting supply of the COVID vaccine locally, unless there is a large uptick in the vaccine delivery, Niagara County will only do 300 vaccinations next week
