Over 7 million New Yorkers are now eligible for the COVID Vaccine, but the State only receives 300,00 doses per week from the Federal Government.
As a result of limited allocations, limited appointments are filling up quickly. Currently, appointments have been made for the next 14 weeks.
Vaccinations are performed by local health departments, pharmacies, doctor offices, and hospitals. Please call them for appointments and additional information.
