Eligibility expands in New York to try to get things back to a sense of normal.
Now, tourists coming into the Big Apple can also get their shots in the city, and that’s just one part of the efforts to get more people vaccinated this weekend.
Welcome to New York, your vaccine is waiting for you!
We’ll administer the Johnson & Johnson vaccine at iconic sites across our city. With State authorization, we can get vaccines to tourists and make sure they have a built in souvenir to bring home with them. Let’s get it done! pic.twitter.com/NCqIietY9R

Previously to get vaccinated in the city, those who were residents or workers were only allowed to get the shot.
This week, the city expanded eligibility, getting state approval to improve access to those visiting.
