I'm on both NYS DOH and Niagara County DOH lists. Both list No Appointments Available whenever I check. There is no announcements of availability, the sites just post a URL and shut it down when the vaccine allotment is met. I've actually gotten through to the sites before they could shut them down but after the allotment had been met. (Pic below).

As of this morning, most all eastern NYS sites had availability (NY City especially) but not western NYS.

My county DOH has assigned me to either Tops Supermarket or Wegmans pharmacy. I don't get a choice of others. NYS DOH has a bunch of sites, closest is in Buffalo but still no availability.

If a site gets in 1,000 doses, they post it on the site and the list is filled in less than 10 minutes (according to the local paper).

Lately, the PFizer vaccine seems to be predominant. Some Jannsen [J&J] has been distributed by NYS DOH but in lots of less than 500.
