New York Mets stadium to host 24/7 vaccination site



The city that never sleeps is getting another Covid-19 vaccination center that will be open around the clock, courtesy of the New York Mets.



Starting the week of Jan. 25, New Yorkers will be able to head out to Citi Field in the borough of Queens at any time of the day or week to get a shot, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced.



“By making City Field a 24/7 vaccination site, they're stepping up to the plate for New Yorkers across our city,” de Blasio said.



When it's up and running, the Citi Field site will be able to vaccinate between 5,000 and 7,000 people per day.



In addition, a 24/7 vaccination site opened Tuesday in Manhattan, and another will be up and running in Staten Island starting Friday, and one more will makes its debut Saturday in Queens.



Round-the-clock vaccination sites have already been operating in Brooklyn and The Bronx.

I hope Bobby Valentine will be there administering some of the shots.

He's limiting giving out doses to his bar patrons in Stamford.

So all [8, 12, 15?] million "New Yorkers are welcome" and they can serve 5 to 7 thousand per day. How are they choosing who gets their dose?

Lottery? Age? Rock/Paper/Scissors? Concert style wrist bands? Tent cities? ... or just the usual method of who has the best inside connections?

70 % vaccination goals will take several years to achieve.

You have to fill out a form on a Government website. Old Mole did it today and got immediate response (because he's over 75) that he is eligible to get it and there will be a next step to make an appointment.

We will be able to do the same in Connecticut on Thursday.

I've signed up for the NJ site. It was easy and I'll be waiting.
