China News Service, April 7th. According to a report compiled by the American Overseas Chinese News Network, on April 6th local time, New York Mayor De Blasio announced that New York City has launched a mobile vaccine bus to go to the community to vaccinate the public.
From the 7th, a vaccine bus will arrive in the Chinese-inhabited Sunset Park area of Brooklyn. The staff is proficient in bilingual skills and can provide services in English, Chinese and Spanish.
Bai Sihao said that the mobile vaccine bus specializes in serving the disadvantaged groups, such as people with limited mobility at home, and undocumented people.
The first week will mainly serve restaurants and food delivery staff, many of whom are undocumented.
At present, this mobile vaccine bus team consists of 20 buses, and each bus can receive 150 to 200 doses of vaccine a day.
The bus is divided into 6 spaces with curtains. Those who are going to get vaccinated enter the bus, and the staff will register and vaccinate them.
Restaurant workers and food delivery staff can email or call to make an appointment.
The locations, operating dates and times of other mobile vaccine buses will be announced in the near future.
De Blasio also announced that from this week, elderly people over 75 years old can get injections at 25 vaccine sites without making an appointment.
Previously, 3 vaccine sites were opened that do not require an appointment, but now they have been expanded to 25.
It is reported that from April 6th, people aged 16 and over in New York State can receive the new crown vaccine. For appointment, please visit the New York City official website.
