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. 140,551 doses have been administered across the state's vast distribution network in the last 24 hours, and 1,134 doses have been administered at the eight pop-up vaccination sites at MTA station stops on day 2 of the pilot program that launched on May 12. More than 900,000 doses have been administered statewide over the past seven days.       

"We are continuing to work with communities to make sure the vaccine is accessible and to address any hesitancy or indifference people have towards getting vaccinated," Governor Cuomo said. "We cannot get comfortable or cocky. COVID is still out there, and if we let down our guard, we risk losing all the progress we have made. Our providers are working hard to gets more shots into people's arms, and I urge everyone who still needs to get their shot to do so quickly - for themselves and for everyone they care about and want to protect."    

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.
