Although New York's COVID-19 vaccination rollout has gotten off to a slow start, the city Department of Health is working to open hundreds of vaccination sites that will be able to inoculate thousands of New Yorkers per day once more people are eligible to receive their first shot.
On Saturday, DOH Commissioner Dr. Dave Chokshi walked reporters through the South Bronx Educational Campus in Melrose, which opens on Sunday to immunize eligible New Yorkers who fall in the 1A category, which is limited to healthcare employees. Two other vaccination clinics, Bushwick Education Campus in Brooklyn and Hillcrest High School in Queens, are opening on Sunday, adding to the 125 hubs currently in operation.
