Vaccine Eligibility Update from NYS (March 15, 2021)
March 15, 2021
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Governor Andrew Cuomo announced the expansion of the COVID-19 vaccine eligibility for New Yorkers that are “essential in-person public-facing building service workers.”
Under the new guidance, Local 94 members in our commercial building locations will be eligible to begin receiving the vaccine on March 17th, 2021.
We urge our members and their families to get vaccinated to help protect against COVID-19 and do our part to end the pandemic. Starting on March 17th, you can make an appointment to obtain the COVID-19 vaccine at https://covid19vaccine.health.ny.gov/ or at https://vaccinefinder.nyc.gov/.
Thank you,
Kuba J. Brown
Business Manager/Financial Secretary
IUOE Local 94
