True allergic reactions to vaccinations are extremely rare, but two New York women did experience this after receiving their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. Allergists were able to safely administer their second vaccine doses by following a special procedure.

"If you look at the data, the whole issue of vaccine, equity... the vaccine isn't at this point, really, getting to the most vulnerable in an equitable fashion.”

"Everyone should take it when it’s their turn, because that’s how we get everyone back to work and see our families and friends safely together.”

Cuomo, who was on a call with the Biden administration Tuesday morning, said the federal government is planning to boost the state’s vaccine supply by 5% over the next three weeks.

They include cancer, heart conditions, COPD, chronic kidney disease, Type 1 and 2 diabetes, moderate to severe asthma, and people with intellectual and development disabilities, organ transplant recipients, and people who are morbidly obese.

Only county health departments will administer vaccines for those with underlying conditions, they won’t be available at several large state run sites.

"We have to recognize the very long history of injustice and misuse that really sets the context for why community members feel the way that they do.”

Governor Cuomo received word from the Biden administration that New York would receive an additional 5% of vaccine doses over the next three weeks.

New Yorkers who have appointments at centers that closed because of the storm will receive new appointments by email or text.

"There's a lot of ways that scammers can use this information."
