New Yorkers aged 50 and over will be eligible to receive the coveted COVID-19 vaccine starting Tuesday, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Monday.
“The vaccines will be available for people 50 years old and above, so we are dropping the age, as we’re vaccinating more people,” Cuomo said Tuesday at the Grace Baptist Church in Mount Vernon during a closed-press briefing..
“Tomorrow morning, 50 and above … Make your appointment, and get your vaccine.”
Earlier this month, Cuomo had lowered the eligibility age to 60 from 65.
