New York State is preparing to open a drive-through COVID19 vaccination center in Jones Beach.
The center is scheduled to open on Thursday and every day thereafter.
People were able to start making appointments for the site on Monday, but since there are now millions more people eligible to receive the vaccine, it has been difficult to get it.
The state website crashed and the state hotline was overloaded.
Donna Schaffer of Dix Hills said News 12 on Monday, she did not get an appointment for her 96-year-old mother. Schaffer says that this morning, after four of them spent 24 hours trying to get an appointment, they finally managed to make an appointment for their mother in Jones Beach for February.
