The American city of New York wants to vaccinate tourists against Covid-19. Authorities will place mobile vaccination sites in “iconic locations” where they plan to administer the Johnson & Johnson vaccine to anyone who wants a shot.

“New York is open for business, shot by shot,” Mayor Bill de Blasio wrote on Twitter. In order to be able to vaccinate tourists as well, the state must give permission. Now, in New York State, only people who live or work there are vaccinated. “With state permission, we can give tourists vaccines and ensure they have a built-in souvenir to take home,” the city said.
De Blasio wants to have New York “fully open” by July 1. The first steps have already been taken: more and more corona measures are being lifted. For example, the catering industry has been allowed to receive guests again since the beginning of this week, and metros are running day and night again. More rules will be relaxed later this month. For some time a year ago, New York was the epicenter of the pandemic. Today, things are getting better in the metropolis. The number of infections in the city is steadily decreasing, while the vaccination campaign is proceeding rapidly.
