Andrew Cuomo Feb 08, 2021 — Governor Andrew Cuomo says state-run vaccination sites will begin accepting appointments for immunocompromised New Yorkers, beginning Feb. 14. Cuomo already announced that people with underlying conditions will become eligible for the vaccine on February 15th . They include cancer, heart conditions, COPD, chronic kidney disease, Type 1 and 2 diabetes, moderate to severe asthma, and people with intellectual and development disabilities, organ transplant recipients, and people who are morbidly obese.
