BUFFALO, N.Y. (WBEN) - Erie County will set up a mass-vaccination site at KeyBank Center beginning next Wednesday, Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz tweeted Thursday.
Appointments will be dedicated to people age 65 and older. Appointments are required and will be opened as vaccine supply as available, though officials hope to vaccinate as many as 1,000 people per day.
"I thank the Pegulas, Pegula Sports Entertianment, and the Buffalo Sabres for providing the Key Bank Center location as the site for a new Erie County vaccination POD and we look forward to opening this site as soon as possible," Poloncarz said in a statement.
Registration information will be sent to those who signed up through the Erie County Health Department's notification form
