I want to express my appreciation for that. Also Google is committing $1 million to help the city to advertise the new vaccination sites that we keep bringing out, that we are doing more and more with the grassroots. This is going to be crucial. More and more grassroots vaccination sites means more and more New Yorkers who feel comfortable getting vaccinated, easier places for people to get to, Google is going to help us get the word out," de Blasio said.
The new vaccination site will be open Tuesday through Saturday and is expected to offer more than 200 appointments per day.
