COVID-19 Vaccine Appointments Available throughout Monroe County

MCC and SUNY strongly encourage faculty, staff and students to schedule vaccine appointments before the semester ends and to do your part to protect yourself, your family, and your community. We know you want to open our college and community to the maximum extent possible and vaccinations will help us achieve that goal.  

All New Yorkers age 16 and above are now eligible to receive the free COVID-19 vaccine. It’s easy to make an appointment using the Am I Eligible app. Visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's website for learn about the safety of available vaccines.

SUNY’s #KnowYourVax series features alumni and students who share their perspectives information about getting vaccinated. If you still have questions, you can learn more about the vaccines and New York’s vaccination efforts at covid19vaccine.health.ny.gov. 

What comes after the vax?
Even after receiving the vaccine, it’s critical that you continue to follow public health guidelines established by state and federal health authorities, including:

  • Wear a mask
  • Practice social distancing
  • Wash your hands often
  • Participate in pooled testing at MCC

The end of the pandemic may be in sight, but this is no time to let our guard down. Together, we can see this through to the end – so we can all get back to normal, safely.
