NEW YORK (WABC) After days of pressure from New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and others, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced Friday he is expanding the vaccine distribution network from just hospitals to a larger network that will allow an expansion of who can get the vaccine.
The distribution network will be expanded to non-hospital providers, like CityMD, which will in turn expand the pool of eligible recipients.
Reservations will start Monday for both phases 1a and 1b, but health care workers in 1a must remain a priority, Cuomo said.
The expansion will cover police, correction officers, some essential workers, and people who are 75 years and older.
