On Sunday morning, health workers can be vaccinated by appointment via the city’s website.
These new facilities contribute to the more than 225 sites open across the country.
On Monday, the vaccine will be made available to group 1b – the elderly over the age of 75, teachers and transit workers.
To date, approximately 150,000 people have been vaccinated in the appropriate 1a group of nursing homes and health care workers in New York City.
After a war of war with Mayor de Blasio, Governor Cuomo announced on Friday that he would expand the list eligible for 1b to seniors over 75 – but there is not enough to vaccinate everyone immediately.
“It will take 14 weeks. It takes 14 weeks to do 1a and 1b. Just because the bookings are available, do not expect everyone to get a booking right away. At the offer rate, it will take 14 weeks,” he said. Governor Cuomo said.
Howard Braunstein (77) of Queens is part of group 1b and is ready to take the vaccine. He has been sitting at home for ten months with limited trips to the grocery store, and is ready to come back to life and see family again.
Of the group 1b eligible on Monday, there will be no priority; this will be the first time. It could be April before everyone in both groups who want a vaccine will get one.
In addition, there is one vaccination center in a high school, so as long as people receive vaccines, there are no plans to reopen.
In addition, the Javits Center will open Wednesday as a vaccine distribution site.
Meanwhile, Police Commissioner Dermot Shea tested positive for COVID-19, along with 463 NYPD members who tested positive for coronavirus this month.
Those who are qualified can register for a vaccine on the city’s website. Starting Monday, a phone-in-call system will also be up and running.
