PARK SLOPE, BROOKLYN — As the number of people eligible to get the COVID-19 vaccine expands, more Brooklynites are signing themselves and family members up for the shot — and searching for where to get it. So far, there aren't any city-sponsored vaccination sites in Park Slope. Mayor Bill de Blasio has made it clear that vaccination sites will ramp up first in the communities most hard-hit by the virus. Park Slope ranks among the least affected neighborhoods in terms of its overall case rate since the pandemic began, so will likely be lower on the priority list. But, that doesn't mean city-run sites aren't available nearby. As of Thursday, more than 30 vaccine sites have opened in Brooklyn, a number that will only grow as the city works towards its goal of doubling vaccine sites by the end of the month.

Cuomo announced on Tuesday that New Yorkers over the age of 65 will now be eligible to get the coronavirus vaccine after the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention altered its guidance on vaccine prioritization to recommend inoculating that group. The expanded criteria will open up vaccinations to at least 1.8 million more New York State residents, Cuomo said. Immunocompromised individuals are also slated to become eligible to get vaccinated under the new federal guidelines, but state officials are still working with the CDC to determine who qualifies as part of that group, according to Melissa DeRosa, a top aide to the governor.
