COVID NYC update: Costco set to offer COVID vaccines in New York City

NEW YORK (WABC) – Costco will soon be offering COVID-19 vaccines in five states and Puerto Rico.

New York City is included among the new locations.

The association-based retailer said it will administer the doses “as soon as they are available”.

But being a member of Costco does not guarantee that you will be able to sign up for the photo.

Costco said he has only a limited number available and would follow the eligibility guidelines in each state.

“Costco is firmly committed to helping protect the health and safety of our members and employees and to serving our communities,” wrote the company in its announcement.

Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island stores should receive the vaccine as soon as available.

Costco asked his clients not to contact the local pharmacy to schedule appointments. Instead, customers should visit your website.

The company said it hopes to mainly administer Modern vaccines.

Jim Dolan reports that Mount Sinai Hospital announced Tuesday night that it was canceling some appointments to give the first doses of the vaccine because they were suddenly receiving fewer doses from the city than promised.
