and older is now able to make an appointment for a COVID-19 vaccine.
Doctors say the decision to
expand is important for two reasons.
"One is the lack of
mitigation that's being eased up in many locations including New York. And the
variants that are dramatically increasing in the New York area," says Dr.
Bruce Farber, the chief of infectious
diseases at Northwell Health.
According to New York state, more than 9 million doses have been
administered so far.
Eligibility is set to expand
again next Tuesday, April 6, when anyone 16 and older can schedule an
appointment for a shot.
