Mayor de Blasio media availbility…
Moderator: Hi, all. We’ll now begin our Q-and-A. With us today is Deputy Mayor Melanie Hartzog, First Deputy Commissioner Torian Easterling, Executive Director of the Task Force Sideya Sherman, Senior Advisor Dr. Jay Varma, and Dr. Mitchell Katz, CEO of Health + Hospitals. With that, we’ll go to Andrew from WNBC.
Question: Good morning, Mr. Mayor, and everyone on the call. Can you walk us through a little more of the timeline of the next few days in terms of the vaccine? When exactly we expect some of these frontline health care workers to get their vaccines?
Mayor: Yeah, I’ll turn to Dr. Easterling and our other doctors to say, we’re going to be reporting as we have a final information, Andrew. We will keep you updated. I know everyone in this city is anxious to know more and our colleagues in the media, we want to keep you updated, but we need to lock down final facts in each case. What we can say, and it’s in a matter of days, we’ll be in a position to start giving the initial vaccines. Dr. Easterling?
