Appointments are required at all locations. They are going quickly. Mayor de Blasio said the first overnight appointments for the city's 24/7 vaccine mega-sites are already fully booked.
The news of the mega-sites' opening comes at the right time, because 3.2 million people across New York State - so called Group 1b residents - are now eligible to get the vaccine.
Group 1b includes people 75 years of age or older, first responders, teachers and transit workers.
