COVID Vaccine In New York: MTA Opening Its Own Employee Vaccination Program
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- The MTA is making access to the coronavirus vaccine easier for its employees.
Starting Wednesday, the agency will open its own employee vaccination program.
"We want to see as many employees as possible get through the vaccine," interim NYC Transit president Sarah Feinberg said. "Transit workers have carried this city on their backs, and if we're going to get back to normal, we need to step up and all get our shots."
