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. 70,722 doses have been administered across the state's vast distribution network in the last 24 hours, and 799,736 doses have been administered statewide over the past seven days.

"More New Yorkers continue to get vaccinated every single day in our state and its critical we do all we can to ensure that progress continues," Governor Cuomo said. "Creativity is key here-live events are increasing capacity for those who have been vaccinated, pop-up vaccination sites are being established at transportation hubs and we've expanded the availability of walk-in appointments. Now, New Yorkers need to take advantage of these resources, get their shot and do their part in helping rebuild and restart our great state-there is no reason not to."

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.
