 Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced 121,067 first and second doses of the COVID-19 vaccine have been administered in the last 24 hours. As of 11:00 AM today, New York providers have administered 95 percent of first doses. The week 12 allocation from the federal government is in the process of being delivered to providers for administration.

"We remain locked in a footrace to keep the infection and hospitalization rate low and drive the vaccination rate up." Governor Cuomo said. "We're making progress on both fronts, and thanks to our vast network of vaccine providers and targeted community efforts, over 15 percent of all New Yorkers have now been vaccinated with at least one dose. The light at the end of the tunnel is bright, and we will continue to get shots in arms quickly and fairly until every New Yorker is vaccinated and we are the first COVID-free state.

Approximately 10 million New Yorkers are currently eligible to receive the vaccine. New York's vast distribution network and large population of eligible individuals still far exceed the supply coming from the federal government. Due to limited supply, New Yorkers are encouraged to remain patient and are advised not to show up at vaccination sites without an appointment.

The 'Am I Eligible' screening tool has been updated for individuals with comorbidities and underlying conditions with new appointments released on a rolling basis over the next weeks. New Yorkers can use the following to show they are eligible:

• Doctor's letter, or
• Medical information evidencing comorbidity, or
• Signed certification

Vaccination program numbers below are for doses distributed and delivered to New York for the state's vaccination program, and do not include those reserved for the federal government's Long Term Care Facility program. A breakdown of the data based on numbers reported to New York State as of 11:00 AM today is as follows. Beginning week 9, allocation totals are inclusive of some excess vaccine doses that have been reallocated from the federal Long Term Care Facility program. The allocation totals below include 20 percent of the week 12 allocation which will finish being distributed to New York provider sites on Sunday.
