Governor Cuomo Announces Seven New Pop-up Vaccination Sites at Airports Across New York State to Reach More Individuals Who Still Need to Get the COVID-19 Vaccine

 

New York City, Westchester County, Albany, Syracuse, Rochester and Buffalo Airport Locations Open from Monday, May 24 to Friday, May 28  

All Sites Open for Walk-in Vaccinations on a First Come, First Served Basis

Program Builds on Success of Recently Launched Pop-Up Sites at MTA Stations

 

 Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced seven new pop-up vaccination sites at airports in New York City, White Plains, Albany, Syracuse, Rochester and Buffalo. The sites will be open for walk-in vaccinations on a first come, first served basis utilizing the single dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine. This new program to bring the vaccine to more convenient locations and reach more New Yorkers builds on the recently launched successful pilot program that brought pop-up sites at MTA stations.  

"Our vaccination pop-up sites have been instrumental in helping us reach more New Yorkers who need to get vaccinated, and given the success of our pilot program at subway and train stations across the MTA network, we are getting creative once more by bringing the vaccine to our airports," Governor Cuomo said. "This vaccine is the best weapon that we have to defeat COVID, and we will go anywhere we need to get more shots into people's arms. If you are traveling through or working at one of these airports or just happen to be passing through and you still need to get vaccinated, I encourage you to make time to get your shot so we can finally defeat this virus." 

The sites will be open from Monday, May 24 to Friday, May 28 at the following airports:

  • JFK International Airport 
  • LaGuardia Airport 
  • Westchester County Airport 
  • Albany International Airport 
  • Syracuse Hancock International Airport 
  • Greater Rochester International Airport
  • Buffalo Niagara International Airport
