Dozens of COVID-19 vaccination sites have opened across New York for those eligible to receive a shot. But supplies are dwindling after Gov. Andrew Cuomo opened up eligibility in mid-January to millions.
Many sites may have already run out of doses or have all their appointments booked, and have begun turning away those seeking the vaccine. New York receives about 250,000 new doses from the federal government each week, according to Cuomo.
Appointments have been difficult to get for many New Yorkers. But they are necessary. Walk-ins are not allowed. This information is based on the latest update from the Finger Lakes vaccine hub. https://flvaccinehub.org/Home/Eligible
