According to the NY State Covid-19 Vaccine guidelines:

Over 12 million New Yorkers are now eligible for the vaccine. Eligible groups include doctors, nurses and health care workers, people age 50 and over, first responders, teachers, public transit workers, grocery store workers, public safety workers and New Yorkers with certain comorbidities and underlying conditions. 

FDA fact sheets for recipients and caregivers on each vaccine are available: Pfizer, Moderna and Janssen/Johnson & Johnson....

As previously reported, the Roosevelt Island Duane Reade/Walgreens is administering the Moderna vaccine.

Also, during the weekend of March 13-14, Duane Reade/Walgreens vaccinated almost 1300 people with the Johnson & Johnson single dose Covid 19 vaccine at a pop-up clinic site in the Roosevelt Island Senior Center.

Earlier this week, I asked Duane Reade/Walgreens:

Any update on Duane Reade/Walgreens Covid Moderna vaccinations at the store or bringing back the Johnson & Johnson single dose vaccine?

A Duane Reade Walgreens representative replied:

No word on when we will be getting more Johnson &Johnson vaccine yet but I am happy to say we are doing 300 first dose and 200 second dose vaccines in the Roosevelt Island store this week. 

Additionally, we are now following the guidelines of 50+ and comorbidity so it has opened up to a lot of folks. Hopefully, we can do another clinic on the island when more allocation comes available.
