As of today, New York state expanded the eligibility to receive the COVID-19 vaccine to the initial groups of phase 1B, which includes education workers, first responders, public safety workers, public transit workers, public-facing grocery store workers, and New Yorkers 75+. This is in addition to the healthcare workers and nursing home residents and staff in group 1A.
