The county anticipates distributing 1,000 vaccines a day. Appointments will be required.

The site is an ideal hub with its proximity to public transportation lines and parking.

Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz says...

“I thank the Pegulas, Pegula Sports & Entertainment and the Buffalo Sabres for providing the KeyBank Center location as the site for a new Erie County vaccination POD and we look forward to opening this site as soon as possible. Their commitment to our area and to protecting our residents stands out and is greatly appreciated as we work towards getting more and more people vaccinated. This site is well-placed to serve the City of Buffalo and all of Erie County, and as more vaccines become available we will be able to increase operations here.

Together with existing county vaccination PODs at SUNY Erie South and SUNY Erie North, we are expanding our capacity to vaccinate more residents and protect more people.”

 

Kim Pegula says she’s proud of this partnership with the county to help vaccinate the Western New York community.

“Our organization is proud to work with County Executive Mark Poloncarz and his team to help provide as many vaccinations as possible to our community. We appreciate the work of our front line healthcare workers and are happy to help in any way that we can.”

 

Erie County Commissioner of Health Dr. Gale Burstein said,

“With three safe and effective vaccines available and supplies increasing, our department is ready to get to work vaccinating Erie County residents with this important tool in our COVID-19 prevention toolkit.”

Erie County says registration information will be sent to those who filled out the Erie County Department of Health’s Vaccine Notification Form.
