NY to start vaccinating people with health problems Feb. 15
New York’s governor announced Friday the state will open up vaccine eligibility by Feb. 15 for people with a wide range of certain health conditions — from obesity to hypertension, cancer and intellectual and developmental disabilities — that put them at high risk of severe illness from COVID-19.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo pointed to data suggesting nearly all people who have died from COVID-19 had other serious health conditions.
“You do every group in the state when you do people with comorbidities,” he said Friday.
