Three mass vaccination sites across New York State will begin administering doses overnight, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said this week, as officials seek to use an influx of new vaccines manufactured by Johnson & Johnson to significantly expand the vaccination effort.
The state said Tuesday it expected to receive about 164,800 doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine this week. In a news conference on Wednesday, Mr. Cuomo said that adding appointments and running the three mass vaccination sites around the clock would allow the state to get the vaccine “in arms as soon as possible.”
