New York has new guidance allowing pharmacies to vaccinate New Yorkers over the age of 16 who have comorbidities. Pharmacies were previously able to only vaccinate those over the age of 60 and teachers. Examples of comorbidities include diabetes, obesity, weakened immune systems, heart conditions and pulmonary disease. A doctor’s letter or a signed certification is required to show eligibility. Check with your pharmacy to see if they are participating.
