The Buffalo Niagara International Airport was one of seven airports in NYS chosen to be a pop-up Covid-19 vaccination site. This site helped Western New York commuters and visitors alike easily access the vaccine.

The walk-in vaccination sites were available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Medical workers administered the single-dose Johnson & Johnson Janssen vaccine to anyone eligible who was 18 or older.

“This vaccine is the best weapon that we have to defeat COVID, and we will go anywhere we need to get more shots into people’s arms,” said Governor Andrew Cuomo.
