See the sights — and get a shot. New York City hopes to soon receive state approval to begin offering coronavirus inoculations to tourists by stationing vaccination vans at Times Square and other attractions, says the city’s mayor.

Bill de Blasio called the city’s idea “a positive message to tourists: ‘Come here – it’s safe, it’s a great place to be, and we’re going to take care of you.’”

“It’s a show of goodwill. It’s a welcome,” but not a requirement, the mayor added, noting that the city has no plans to track tourists’ vaccination status.

Besides Times Square, the vans would appear in such places as Central Park, Brooklyn Bridge Park, and the High Line elevated park, de Blasio said. Visitors would get the one-dose Johnson & Johnson vaccine, so they wouldn’t have to follow up with a second shot.

Although many visitors might leave New York before the vaccine’s full protection kicks in, de Blasio argued that “the more people get vaccinated, the better” for the city and world.

“Meanwhile, we remain focused on vaccine equity and ensuring vaccine access for vulnerable New Yorkers and continue to assess the most effective use of doses as demand stabilizes,” spokesperson Jonah Bruno said.
