The governor says the delivery of the week 15 allocation will begin mid-week.
"The pool of eligible New Yorkers is now larger than ever before, which means we need to do more to reach everyone who is eligible. Over the next few weeks we expect to see vaccine production ramping up, and we have to make sure we have the capacity and the willingness to take the vaccine," Cuomo said.
Starting today, those ages 50 and up can sign up for the vaccine.
