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.

NEW YORK (WABC) A few thousand fans will be allowed at the Buffalo Bills playoff game, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Wednesday.
It will be the first time fans have been in the stands at a professional sports competition in New York since the initial outbreak of COVID-19 led to the cancellation of many large-scale events back in March.
The agreement between the NYS Health Department, the Bills, and the NFL will allow for 6,700 fans to attend the game while abiding by social distancing guidelines and wearing masks.
Cuomo said the move could be the first step on the path to reopening restaurants and other large even spaces like Madison Square Garden and Broadway shows.
