ALBANY, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — Governor Cuomo announced Saturday that more than 3.5 million New Yorkers have received their first dose of COVID-19 vaccines.
He said that as of Saturday, March 6, at 11 a.m. New York providers have administered 96% of first doses so far delivered.
The 12-week allocation from the federal government is in the process of being delivered to providers for administration.
“While we are seeing good progress in our fight to lower the infection rate and continuing to open up sectors of our economy, we must double down on getting more people vaccinated because this is what will determine our long-term success,” Cuomo said.
Approximately 10 million New Yorkers are eligible to receive the vaccine.
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
