Chancellor Malatras Statement on Jamestown Community College Serving as a Vaccination Center for Cattaraugus County

January 6, 2021

"As New York State builds up capacity to distribute vaccinations across our state, SUNY colleges and universities are stepping up in major ways. I want to thank Jamestown Community College for making their Olean campus available to Cattaraugus County and Department of Health to administer vaccines as we continue the fight against COVID-19. We’re all in this together and SUNY institutions will help continue to lead the way."
