Bill de Blasio announced Tuesday morning a new incentive for New Yorkers to get
their COVID-19 vaccine: a chance to win playoff tickets for the
Brooklyn Nets.
This
applies to residents who get vaccinated at the new mobile vaccination site that
opened at Barclays Center.
Residents
who get vaccinated there can also get free Nets merchandise.
The
mayor says the Barclays site will focus on getting the vaccine to residents
from neighborhoods hardest hit by the pandemic that were recognized by the Task Force on Racial Inclusion and Equity.
People
from those neighborhoods who already got their vaccine will also be able to
enter for a chance to win tickets.
John
Abbamondi, the CEO of the Nets and Barclays Center, says the arena will be
expanding to as close to full capacity as it can for playoff games.
He
says most people will be required to be fully vaccinated to get into the
building, but there will be smaller sections for people who are unable to get
vaccinated.
