Börse Express – New York expands the circle of those eligible for vaccination

In view of the corona vaccination campaign gaining momentum in the USA, the state of New York is expanding the circle of those entitled to immunization. From this Wednesday on, all citizens over 60 years of age can be vaccinated with one of the three available drugs, as Governor Andrew Cuomo announced on Tuesday. A week later, other groups of so-called vital workers are to follow, including caretakers.

The approval of the vaccine from the US company Johnson & Johnson
recently gave the campaign in the USA a further boost. In New York, several vaccination centers are now supposed to work around the clock. In the United States, almost a quarter of all adults have already received at least one dose – the equivalent of around 60 million people. In the age group over 65 years, around 60 percent have already been vaccinated with at least one dose./scb/DP/stw
