As the number of people eligible to get the COVID-19 vaccine expands, more Brooklynites are signing themselves and family members up for the shot — and searching for where to get it.
As of Thursday, more than 30 vaccine sites have opened in Brooklyn, a number that will only grow as the city works towards its goal of doubling vaccine sites by the end of the month.
In Crown Heights, two city-sponsored sites have opened so far in the neighborhood.
“This a big relief to the residents of Crown Heights, that we are finally able to access the COVID vaccine,” one resident told COLlive.
Here are the sites in the neighborhood:
Statcare – Brooklyn
341 Eastern Parkway, Brooklyn, 11216
(855) 936-7362
NYC Health Department – Crown Heights Clinic
1218 Prospect Place, Brooklyn, 11213
(877) 829-4692
Walk-ins are also accepted from today through Monday, Feb. 8, 7AM-8PM at
Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center
585 Schenectady Ave.
Make sure to bring ID and your insurance info.
Anyone else notice that these sites are not targeting the Jewish population?
Stop complaining for one minute and be thankful that the vaccine is accessible at all.
Not to mention that black communities have been hit the hardest by Covid.
When it spreads in Jewish communities they blame us, our yomim tovim etc. When it spreads in black/Hispanic communities they say they were “hit hardest by covid”
Also completely unrelated but it definitely didn’t spread by the blm protests.
Why do people think that everything has to be catered on a silver platter?
This is great news. These negative whining comments only make us look like Im sorry to say spoiled brats. These places are all a ten or fifteen minute car ride. Its comments like this that make the word privilege have legitimacy.
Please stop making us look bad and show some hakaras hatov
Is this for any age group?
Not any age group. Anyone 65+ and then select other categories of people (eg healthcare workers, teachers, restaurant workers) are currently eligible. You can google the full eligibility list. It’s for all of NY, not just these sites.
Pathetic De Blasio and stupid woke NY state. Yes, they should have it available for us in crown heights Jewish neighborhood!!!
We are also human and have also been “hit hard by covid” not just black people.
All lives matter!
Disgusting institutional racism ! Systemic racism against people other than black people!
