Vaccine Dashboard Updated Daily on the State's Vaccine Program Here


 Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today updated New Yorkers on the state's vaccination program. 145,291 doses have been administered across the state's vast distribution network in the last 24 hours, and 863,635 doses have been administered statewide over the past seven days.       

"Even as we continue to lift many restrictions and resume a number of activities across our state, we have to remember that COVID is still out there and the vaccine remains the best weapon we have against it," Governor Cuomo said. "We are continuing to do everything we can to make the vaccine accessible to every New Yorker, and we are doubling down on creating incentives for anyone who still needs to get vaccinated because we cannot get complacent with our vaccination efforts. In order to protect all the progress we have made thus far, we all need to roll up our sleeve and get this vaccine."    

All New York State mass vaccination sites are now open to eligible New Yorkers for walk-in vaccination on a first come first serve basis. The walk-in appointments are reserved for first doses only with second doses to be scheduled automatically after administration of the initial shot. In addition, all vaccine providers are encouraged to allow walk-in appointments for eligible New Yorkers. People who would prefer to schedule an appointment at a state-run mass vaccination site can do so on the Am I Eligible App or by calling 1-833-NYS-4-VAX. People may also contact their local health department, pharmacy, doctor or hospital to schedule appointments where vaccines are available, or visit vaccines.gov to find information on vaccine appointments near them.
