New York state residents with high-risk health conditions are eligible to get vaccinated starting Monday, but limited vaccine supply could make it hard to get a shot. In addition to the 7 million New Yorkers already eligible for vaccination, including health care workers and people 65 years old and older, 3 million people in the state have conditions that could put them at risk for severe COVID-19 sickness and death, bringing the total number of eligible people to 10 million."We remain locked in a footrace between the infection rate and the vaccination rate," Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in a statement Sunday.
The federal government is increasing weekly supply by 20% over the next three weeks, according to Cuomo, but New York's eligible population far exceeds those additional vaccines. "New Yorkers are encouraged to remain patient and are advised not to show up at vaccination sites without an appointment," Cuomo added.
