NEW YORK (1010 WINS) – New York City will expand in-home vaccinations to all eligible residents, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Wednesday.
The city had already been offering in-home vaccinations to New Yorkers over 75 years old as well as residents with disabilities.
“We’re expanding in-home vaccinations for anyone who wants one,” de Blasio said at his daily briefing. “This is really important. For folks who are ready, have not been vaccinated, but for whom it’s been a challenge to get to a vaccination site or they haven’t been sure, that lifesaving vaccine is now available right at your doorstep.”
De Blasio said the city has already reached over 15,000 New Yorkers with its in-home vaccination effort.

De Blasio said more than 9,046,000 vaccine doses had been administered in the city as of Wednesday.
