Medgar Evers Vaccine Site Open To All Eligible Brooklynites

In Brooklyn, 267,884 people have now had at least one vaccination and 128,751 people are fully vaccinated.

The mass vaccination site now up-and-running at Medgar Evers College, which was initially only serving residents in certain ZIP code, is now open for all Brooklyn residents who are eligible to be vaccinated. Click here to make an appointment.

Vaccine eligibility has been extended to include hotel workers, who have been added to category 1B. Click here to see if you are eligible to be vaccinated.

The Johnson & Johnson vaccine has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration and the company has started shipping out four million doses of the vaccine across America. Governor Andrew Cuomo said the state expected to receive approximately 164,800 doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine this week.

Unlike the Modern and Pfizer vaccines, the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is a single-shot vaccine. It is unlikely those getting vaccinated will have a choice in the vaccine they receive, given the limited vaccine supply.

Interfaith Medical Center has more than 700 available doses of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine that must be used by Wednesday, June 3. No appointment is required to get the vaccine on Tuesday, March 2, and it is free. Click here to learn more.
