New York mayor tours 24-hour vaccine site

Two mass COVID-19 vaccination sites were opened in New York City on Sunday. The vaccination sites that opened in Brooklyn and the Bronx will operate by appointment 24 hours a day starting Monday. The Mayor of New York has vowed to set up a total of 250 city-run vaccination sites by the end of January with the goal of administering 1 million vaccine doses this month. Vaccine eligibility in New York was initially limited to health care workers and residents and staffers at nursing homes, but the Governor Andrew Cuomo announced on Friday that people over 75-years-old as well as frontline workers including teachers, firefighters, police officers and transit workers would be able to schedule vaccinations starting Monday.
