Previously, walk-in appointments were reserved for New Yorkers age 75 and older. "Our priority for the next few months is clear: we need to vaccinate as many New Yorkers as possible," de Blasio said in a news release. "By making it easier for New Yorkers 50 and older to get vaccinated, we are on our way to fully vaccinating five million New Yorkers by June."
