ALBANY – New York State has reached yet another milestone in the fight against COVID-19.

According to the State Health Department, 70 percent of eligible New Yorkers have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.

Locally, more than 62,000 people in Chautauqua County have received at least one dose of the vaccine.
