He emphasized the state's large population of eligible individuals still far exceeds the supply coming from the federal government. Due to limited supply, New Yorkers are encouraged to remain patient and are advised not to show up at vaccination sites without an appointment.
The expanded eligibility for the shots CVS is providing now includes people with underlying conditions and people age 50 and up.
Here are the eligibility requirements for CVS pharmacies in New York:
- Must live in New York

- People age 50+
- Age 16+ with a condition that increases the risk of severe illness from COVID-19
