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. 63,443 doses have been administered across the state's vast distribution network in the last 24 hours, and 815,097 doses have been administered statewide over the past seven days. As of May 23, the weekly vaccine allocation update will not differentiate between first and second doses because of changes in the federal government's vaccine ordering process.

"Every single day, more New Yorkers are getting vaccinated and we move even closer to a brighter future that allows us to reopen the economy, put people back to work and move into the new normal," Governor Cuomo said. "Vaccination is a critical part of rebuilding New York after this pandemic and we are moving heaven and earth to make it accessible to every New Yorker. If you haven't yet made an appointment or walked into a site, I encourage you to do so immediately."

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.
