In the company news release, Wegmans says with a limited supply available, select New York pharmacy locations are participating and as more vaccine becomes available, the plan is to expand the stores and populations selected to participate.

In the Southern Tier, the Johnson City store as well as Corning and Hornell are designated as participating sites while the Syracuse-area Wegmans in Fairmount, Dewitt and Auburn are participating.

All scheduling should be done online at wegmans.com/pharmacy. You do not need to have an online account with Wegmans to reserve a spot. Residents should have their insurance card in front of them when getting ready to schedule.

Those without computer access can call 1-800-207-6099 Monday-Friday from 8:30 a.m.- 5 p.m. Also have your insurance card in front of you when calling. Wegmans advises "This line will only be active when appointments are available."
