Two new sites, each injecting 3,000 people a day with a COVID-19 vaccine, will open in Brooklyn and Queens later this month, state officials announced on Wednesday. They will start to receive visitors the week of February 24th.
“It is the largest vaccination site that we have ever opened, and it’s for Queens residents, as Yankee Stadium is for Bronx residents, as the Medgar Ever College site will be for the Brooklyn residents,” Governor Andrew Cuomo told reporters in a virtual briefing on Wednesday.
