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. 162,592 doses have been administered across the state's vast distribution network in the last 24 hours, and more than 1 million doses have been administered over the past seven days.      

"We are continuing to make steady progress in getting more shots into people's arms, and while we feel good about where we are today, we need to build on this progress in order to stay ahead of the infection rate," Governor Cuomo said. "This virus is still out there, and we all need to do our part to protect one another. We remain committed to working with our providers and communities to make sure the vaccine is accessible to every New Yorker, and I urge everyone who still needs to get vaccinated to come to one of our sites and get their shot so we can finally defeat this beast." 

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.
