New York State will distribute the COVID-19 vaccine in phases based on need and risk.

New Yorkers who are more likely to be exposed to the virus, and who are more likely to become seriously ill if they get COVID-19, will be offered the vaccine first.  Both the federal government and New York State have developed plans to ensure that everyone will be able to get a COVID-19 vaccine as soon as large quantities are available, at no cost no matter where they live.

• Health care workers who are part of Phase 1a will continue to be vaccinated at hospitals and other clinical settings.
• People age 65 and over will primarily be vaccinated at pharmacies and other sites that are part of the
  retail network.”

• Public employees ( i.e. police departments, public school teachers and MTA employees) will primarily be vaccinated through their groups’ relevant health programs or as organized by their unions.
