A new mass Covid19 vaccination site will open on Wednesday March 3 at the old Kodak Hawkeye parking lot on St Paul and Avenue E in Rochester, NY.
The site is easily accessible by public transportation.
Eligible residents can now make an appointment to get the vaccination next week. According to Gov. Cuomo, early registration is limited to residents of certain zip codes in order to address disparities.
“COVID impacted communities of color at much higher rate, and it exposed the inequalities that have existed in our nation’s health care system for decades,” Gov. Cuomo said Wednesday. “From day one we have made the fair and equitable distribution of the vaccine a top priority, but two issues still exist, especially in our Black and Brown communities – accessibility and skepticism."
The selected zip codes are:
14605
14613
14611
14608
14621
14619
14606
14615
14614
14609
14604
14603
All people being vaccinated need to be eligible, meaning you should be either age 65 or older, have an underlying condition or co-morbidity, or otherwise be on the list of people included in the COVID-19 vaccination Phase 1b.
