NEW YORK, Jan. 16 (Xinhua) Total COVID-19 hospitalizations reached 8,888 on Friday in New York State, up from 8,808 on Thursday, tweeted Governor Andrew Cuomo on Saturday.
Who can get the vaccine?
Currently, vaccines are supposed to go to medical personnel, nursing home residents, certain kinds of essential workers (including police, teachers and some grocery workers), and anyone age 65 and older.
You can find the most up-to-date information at eligibility pages run by New York City and New York State.
I already had Covid-19, can I still get a vaccine?
Yes.
The city’s F.A.Q. page explains why it’s fine and a good idea. It suggests waiting for 90 days after your last positive test, but the site does not say that staff will turn you away if you come sooner.
