Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today updated New Yorkers on the state's vaccination program. 182,584 doses have been administered across New York's vast distribution network in the last 24 hours, and more than1 million doses have been administered over the past seven days. The week 13 allocation from the federal government continues being delivered to providers for administration.
"We are seeing a lot of progress in our daily numbers in the fight against COVID, and the long-term sustainment of this hard-earned progress will depend on our efficiency in getting people vaccinated," Governor Cuomo said. "The White House has moved up dramatically the amount of vaccines available, and we are set to significantly increase our capacity for getting shots into arms - a logistical undertaking unlike anything we have done before. Our goal is to be the first COVID-safe state, and we will do that by continuing to prioritize the hard-hit communities and the most vulnerable New Yorkers that bore the brunt of COVID."
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
