UPDATED April 6, 2021 | 3:25 PM Am I eligible for the vaccine?
Anyone 50 and is eligible and by April 15, everyone 16 and up will be, too.
Other eligible groups include health care workers and those who work or live in long-term care facilities are eligible. You can also get vaccinated if you care for an elderly or disabled person, provided that you have a doctor’s note confirming that you are what the state calls an informal caretaker.
Teachers, police officers and grocery store workers became eligible to get their shots beginning Feb. 27. People with serious underlying medical conditions or disabilities that make them vulnerable to COVID-19 became eligible on March 15, along with homeless people; those living in jails, detention centers and other congregate settings; and public transit workers.
