COVID-19 Vaccination Information

To Register for Vaccination Within Tompkins County

Visit https://tompkinscountyny.gov/health/covid19vaccineform. PLEASE NOTE: This registry is for Tompkins County Health Department to better understand demand for the vaccine and to communicate directly with those who are eligible to receive the vaccine when doses become available. You must meet eligibility requirements to register. Those who register will receive a confirmation email from covid19vaccines@tompkins-co.org.

The county allows caregivers, family members and friends to complete the registry on behalf of those who do not have internet access. People without a computer and/or internet access can also call the 2-1-1 helpline for assistance. TCHD will use the registry to distribute vaccination appointment sign-up links to eligible groups.
