Vaccination News
According to the New York State Covid-19 tracker, as of April 27, 2021, 44.6% of the New York population and 51.1% of Westchester residents had received at least 1 dose of the vaccine.
Governor Cuomo announced that, beginning Thursday, April 29, "all New York State mass vaccination sites will open to eligible New Yorkers for walk-in vaccination on a first-come, first-serve basis for all. The walk-in appointments are reserved for first doses only—second-dose appointments will be scheduled immediately after New Yorkers receive their first dose. This new approach means any eligible New Yorker age 16 and older will be able to walk into any mass vaccination site and walk out with a shot in arm, eliminating the need to make an appointment online or by phone. See the list of sites here."
