NYS Vaccine Phase 1B Begins Monday: Includes Ages 75+, Education Workers & More

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said Friday the state will start scheduling COVID-19 vaccinations for the next group of people on Monday. That includes first responders, education workers and public transit workers. People 75 and older and public safety workers, will also be eligible to start making appointments for vaccinations.

“We’re gonna have thousands of providers coming online next week,” Cuomo said Friday at a coronavirus briefing. “Monday basically is when the registration website will open to make an appointment.”

Starting Monday, NYS will begin scheduling vaccinations for the next group of people (Phase 1b):

-People age 75+
-Education workers
-First responders (police, fire)
-Public transit workers
-Public safety workers

Sites will include pharmacies, drs' offices, Javits Center & more.

Some perspective:

Without increased supply we expect it will take 14 weeks to vaccinate the Phase 1a and 1b groups.

That would take us to April 16.

We MUST continue being cautious.

Wear a mask. Social distance. Be smart.
