472ds agoThe cold weather may be keeping some New York City residents
from getting vaccinated early Saturday.
Lines usually stretch blocks for pop-up vaccination sites,
but there was no crowd at Starling Diagnostics as of 9 a.m.
The new Parkchester site is one of 18 pop-up sites opening
across New York this weekend.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced the new sites with hopes of
vaccinating near 9,000 New Yorkers in a week.
Gov. Cuomo says that the pop-up sites will return to give
second doses of the vaccine.
More people are also now eligible for the vaccine, with any
New Yorker over the age of 30 being able to get vaccinated.
On Tuesday, eligibility will expand to include anyone over
the age of 16.
Volunteers at the site are encouraging residents to brace the
weather and get vaccinated.
The pop-up site at Starling Diagnostics will be open today
and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
