Governor Cuomo Updates New Yorkers on State Vaccination Program

Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today updated New Yorkers on the state's vaccination program. 186,876 doses have been administered across the state's vast distribution network in the last 24 hours, and more than 1.5 million doses have been administered over the past seven days.

"Close to 40 percent of New Yorkers have now received at least one dose of the vaccine, which is great progress - and a testament to the dedication of our providers and our partners across the state who have been instrumental in making sure the vaccine distribution fair and equitable," Governor Cuomo said. "That being said, it's no time to get cocky about COVID because this is still a battle. We still need to monitor the infection rate and the hospitalization rate, and we need to double down on getting more people vaccinated as quickly as possible because the race between the number of vaccines versus the rate of infection is still on. Like it has been from day one with this virus, our progress is only as safe as our determination to keep building on it."

New York's vast distribution network and large population of eligible individuals still far exceed the supply coming from the federal government. Due to limited supply, New Yorkers are encouraged to remain patient and are advised not to show up at vaccination sites without an appointment.

The 'Am I Eligible' screening tool has been updated for individuals with comorbidities and underlying conditions with new appointments released on a rolling basis over the next weeks. New Yorkers can use the following to show they are eligible:

Doctor's letter, or
Medical information evidencing comorbidity, or
Signed certification

New Yorkers seeking to determine eligibility and schedule an appointment at a state-run mass vaccination site, can visit the 'Am I Eligible' website. New Yorkers may also call their local health department, pharmacy, doctor, or hospital for additional information and to schedule appointments where vaccines are available.

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 Yorkers who suspect fraud in the vaccine distribution process can now call 833-VAX-SCAM (833-829-7226) toll-free or email the state Department of Health at [email protected]. Hotline staff will route complaints to the appropriate investigative agencies to ensure New Yorkers are not being taken advantage of as the State works to vaccinate the entire eligible population.
