A COVID-19 vaccination clinic will take place at the Jamestown Community College physical education complex on Wednesday, with appointments open for anyone over the age of 30 who resides in New York.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Monday announced the expanded eligibility, which starting April 6, will also include everyone over 16 in New York state.

Vaccine eligibility had previously been restricted to people over 50, people in certain job categories and those with health conditions that put them at risk for serious illness if they were to become infected with the coronavirus. Previously, 12.2 million out of over 15 million New Yorkers over the age of 16 were eligible for COVID-19 vaccination as of last week.

People over the age of 30 can begin booking appointments at 8 a.m. Tuesday morning.

“Today we take a monumental step forward in the fight to beat COVID,” the Democratic governor said in a news release, adding that the new timetable was “well ahead of the May 1 deadline set by the White House.”

Starting at $3.50/week.
