On March 10th, pharmacies can begin vaccinating people over 60 years old and teachers, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced Tuesday.
Cuomo expanded eligibility to anyone over the age of 60, previously pharmacies were vaccinating people over 65.
Pharmacies can only vaccinate people over 60, and now teachers. They cannot vaccinate any other eligible groups. Cuomo said it follows federal guidance prioritizing teacher vaccination.
âOnce those announcements come down, our phones start to ring,â said Ivylea pharmacy owner Chuck Barone.

New York s vaccine supply shortage impacting local vaccinations
Governor Andrew Cuomo said the state expected more vaccines from the federal government when eligibility expanded, but that did not happen.
and last updated 2021-01-15 23:41:50-05 They had already sent out everything they had, so there was no increase in supply, Cuomo said.
He said the state received less, 250,000 for the upcoming week instead of 300,000.
It s a delay to an already slow process for Western New Yorkers like Edie Monroe. Monroe teaches in person five days a week and was eager to sign up for the vaccine when teachers became eligible.
