CAPITAL REGION — Medical first responders like paramedics and EMTs have achieved a concession on when they will have access to vaccines, and some could have access before year’s end.
With the first doses of approved COVID-19 vaccine expected to arrive by Monday and distribution to begin soon after, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s administration now says medical first responders will have the same priority as other health care workers — they will be included in Phase 1a, just behind the nursing home residents and staff who will have first priority.
