The state has also launched a promotion to offer $20 in free lottery tickets to those who get vaccinated at one of 10 mass-vaccination sites across New York.
Those mass-vaccination sites are now open to eligible New Yorkers for walk-in shots on a first-come, first-serve basis. The walk-in availability is reserved for first doses only, with second doses to be scheduled automatically after administration of the initial shot. In addition, all vaccine providers are encouraged to allow walk-in availability for eligible New Yorkers.
Vaccinations of the 12-to-15-year-old age group have also fully launched across the state following recent federal approval.
