BUFFALO, N.Y. 2 On Your Side is answering more of the questions you ve sent us about the coronavirus vaccine.
One 2 On Your Side viewer wants to know, Is any consideration being given to immediate family members of front line nurses and doctors to be included in 1B? If not, when will they be able to get the vaccine?
The state decides who is in each phase, so that s where 2 On Your Side went for answers.
A spokesperson for the New York State Department of Health did not answer this specific question, which we did ask, and instead answered this one, Who gets the vaccine first? by saying, New Yorkers who are more likely to be exposed to the virus, and who are more likely to become seriously ill if they get COVID-19, will be offered the vaccine first.
