New Yorkâs vaccination program is struggling. Several weeks in, the state still needs significant help from the federal government â millions more vaccine doses, but also money to set up distribution sites, help staff them and other basic infrastructure. Those people currently eligible for vaccines â New Yorkers 65 and older and certain essential workers â also need more help getting them. This includes providing better information about how to sign up, in as many languages as New Yorkers speak; a system for doing so that doesnât rely primarily on having internet access; vouchers to ensure no lost pay for missed work; more vaccine clinics open late nights and weekends.
