New York will allow police, firefighters, teachers and elderly over age 75 to start making COVID-19 vaccine appointments on Monday, but many will likely wait weeks to get the shots due to supply shortages, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Friday.
The development came as Cuomo relented to pressure from local officials calling for the expanded eligibility in order to streamline distribution and speed up the slow immunization effort so far.
Part of the expansion effort will involve the activation of 500 pharmacies on Monday that will be offering COVID-19 vaccines, as well as hundreds of other medical offices and clinics run by local health departments.
