Orange County’s first state-run vaccination site at SUNY Orange is officially live and taking appointments. Eligible individuals can check for available timeslots by going to ny.gov/vaccine and filling out the “Am I Eligible?” form.

The Ulster County Fairgrounds location is also live and taking appointments through the state site. Both the SUNY Orange and Ulster County Fairgrounds sites are currently taking appointments for the Pfizer vaccine.

Veterans of any age who are enrolled in the VA’s healthcare system and are eligible to receive the vaccine in accordance with state guidelines can walk in and get vaccinated at either the Castle Point Campus or the FDR Montrose Campus. These walk-in clinics are ongoing for now, open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The Hudson Valley VA can be contacted at: 845-838-7668
