JAMAICA, QUEENS — A massive COVID-19 vaccination site with the capacity to inoculate 3,000 people a day is opening Wednesday at York College in Queens, but only certain neighborhood residents will be eligible at first.
For the first week, vaccines will only be available to Queens residents who meet the current eligibility criteria — thanks to their age, occupation or underlying health conditions — and also live in one of the following ZIP codes: 11418, 11419, 11420, 11430, 11435, 11436, 11439, 11432, 11433, 11434, 11423, 11412, 11413, 11427, 11428, 11429, 11411, 11422, 11691, 11692, 11693.
"For one week, we're targeting certain communities with low vaccination rates and high positivity rates," Gov. Andrew Cuomo said.
