Governor Cuomo Announces 70% of All Eligible New Yorkers Have Received At Least One COVID-19 Vaccine Dose

Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced that 70 percent of all eligible New Yorkers — those 12-years-old and older — have now received at least one vaccine dose. On June 15, Governor Cuomo announced that COVID-19 restrictions are lifted immediately as 70 percent of New Yorkers aged 18 or older have received the first dose of their COVID-19 vaccination series.

"We continue to fight this virus by making sure every single eligible New Yorker gets vaccinated for COVID-19, and our state's ability to beat it for good depends on getting shots in arms," Governor Cuomo said. "That's why New York State is offering incredible incentives to make sure we get as many New Yorkers vaccinated as possible and move our state into the future. I urge everyone who hasn't yet taken the shot to do so today—appointments, including walk-ins, are available at sites across the state."

The COVID-19 Vaccine Tracker Dashboard is available to update New Yorkers on the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine. The New York State Department of Health requires vaccinating facilities to report all COVID-19 vaccine administration data within 24 hours; the vaccine administration data on the dashboard is updated daily to reflect the most up-to-date metrics in the state's vaccination effort. New York State Department of Health-reported data from NYSIIS and CIR differs slightly from federally-reported data, which is inclusive of federally-administered doses and other minor differences. Both numbers are included in the release above.
