Cuomo: 35 new pop-up COVID vaccination sites coming to NY this week
Confusion over NY vaccine expansion
Some county officials around New York are urging Governor Cuomo to give them more guidance on his decision to extend vaccine eligibility, after Cuomo announced that restaurant workers and even Uber drivers could be added to the list of people who can get the shot.
NEW YORK - Governor Andrew Cuomo has announced that 35 new community-based pop-up COVID-19 vaccination sites will be coming online this week at churches, community centers, public housing complexes, and cultural centers.
The sites are expected to vaccinate over 25,000 people throughout the week, with more sites coming online every week.
"COVID brought the ugly truth of inequity and inequality in this country to a tipping point," Governor Cuomo said in a statement. "COVID has killed Black and Latino New Yorkers at a higher rate and that is why these community-based sites are one of New York's vaccine priorities. More than 9,000 New Yorkers have been vaccinated through this effort and by making the vaccine accessible and delivered by trusted community partners, we can address the skepticism and bring this life-saving vaccine to those who need it most. The light at the end of the tunnel is bright and getting brighter with each new location and each shot administered."
Since January 15, the deployment of the kits has enabled nearly 9,000 New Yorkers to get their first COVID-19 vaccine doses at the community-based pop-up sites.

Following this week's deployments and as the federal vaccine supply increases, officials say that New York will continue to deploy the kits until pop-up sites have been established at all 33 NYCHA Senior Housing developments, which house over 7,600 seniors.
Pop-up locations will also continue to be established at other public housing complexes statewide, as well as at more than 300 churches and cultural centers, which have volunteered to house the sites through Governor Cuomo's Vaccine Equity Task Force.
