The
Nassau Coliseum will become the county’s next major vaccination site later this
month, County Executive Laura Curran announced on Saturday.
A
release from the county says it will utilize the lower level exhibition hall.
“We’re
focused on continuing to ramp up our capacity for vaccination as more supply is
anticipated to arrive in the coming weeks,” Curran said in prepared remarks. “All
of our residents must have access to the COVID-19 vaccine, and this iconic site
will give us the ability to deliver the vaccine rapidly. I would like to thank
the New York Islanders for so graciously sharing their home with the community,
as well as the management team at Nassau Live for helping pave the way to
Nassau’s comeback.”
