resources
We recognize the critical nature of your work with patients. In partnership with the NYS Department of Health (DOH) and other nonprofit organizations like ours in the state, we can provide you with the COVID-19 information you need right away.
Part of the work that we’ve been conducting includes partnering with the NYS Department of Health to supply surveillance information they need to track COVID-19, and engaging with local and county health departments to assist with sharing community information.
The NYS Department of Health (DOH) collects lab data and vaccination data from throughout state. Through special partnerships, these data are now accessible in HealtheConnections and visible through all resources listed below.
self-service COVID-19 reports:
lab results and vaccinations
- Two reports are available:
- Access a detailed list of your patients who have received at least one shot of a vaccine

- View and filter information based upon a variety of demographic information and criteria
- Includes data from the NYS Department of Health and NYS Immunization Information System, which is refreshed once per day and covers tests from all across the state.
