Watertown Daily Times ALBANY With COVID-19 vaccine eligibility expanded to all New Yorkers at least 16 years old as of Tuesday, the State University of New York is launching its own distribution program. SUNY Chancellor James Malatras on Tuesday announced the effort to deliver thousands of single-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccines to inoculate students before they head home for the summer. A total of 18,600 J&J doses are being distributed to 34 of SUNY’s 64 campuses, according to the chancellor’s announcement. “Giving residential students the one-shot option helps clear a crucial logistical hurdle in the race to get people fully vaccinated before they leave campus and return to their hometown communities,” Malatras said. “We strongly encourage all students to schedule their appointments as soon as they can; to do their part in protecting themselves, their families and their communities; and to help spread the word about the many benefits of the COVID-19 vaccines.”
