The first shipment of Pfizer\u2019s coronavirus vaccine will reach New York on Monday \u2014 and health-care workers could be getting their shots within hours of arrival.<\/p>\n

The Empire State was awaiting 170,000 doses \u2014 72,000 of which will go to New York City \u2014 after the shipments left a Pfizer facility in Michigan on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cHope is on the way, and it\u2019s departing from Kalamazoo, Michigan,\u201d Gov. Cuomo tweeted, adding a video of trucks leaving the warehouse. \u201cWe are getting closer to the finish line.\u201d<\/p>\n

Health-care workers and nursing-home residents will be the first to get the shots.<\/p>\n

The general<\/a> public likely won\u2019t be able to get vaccinated until \u201cthe beginning of February,\u201d Cuomo said at a press conference last week.<\/p>\n

A draft of the state\u2019s vaccine administration plan released in October laid out five phases for the endeavor. After the first wave kicking off this week, first responders, teachers and other essential frontline workers who regularly interact with the public are in phase 2. Next will be those over 65 and people who are at high-risk of serious illness, according to the draft.<\/p>\n

All other essential workers will be in phase 4, with everyone else relegated to phase 5.<\/p>\n

In the Big App<\/a>le, doctors\u2019 offices and pharmacies can enroll with the Health Department to distribute the vaccine, according to a memo sent out last week.<\/p>\n

New York\u2019s initial shipment is anticipated to flow to 90 ultra-cold-storage sites statewide, Cuomo has said.<\/p>\n

It is unclear how many doses each site will get.<\/p>\n

Forty-four of the locations are in the city and cover 54 hospitals where the vaccine will be administered, city Health Commissioner Dr. Dave Chokshi said last week.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur hospital colleagues have been drilling and preparing to understand how it will be taken out of the box, into the ultra-cold freezer, and starting the process of actually unloading the vials to turn them into the injections that will eventually be vaccinations,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Under a federal program, CVS and Walgreens have been tapped to vaccinate residents and staff at nursing homes, Cuomo has said.<\/p>\n

Officials will also be setting up a \u201cvaccine command center\u201d across the street from City Hall to report on the distribution process and build trust with the community about the vaccine, the de Blasio administration said.<\/p>\n

Two workers from the state\u2019s largest health-care provider, Northwell Health, are expected to be vaccinated during a press conference at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in Queens on Monday.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, workers at Elmhurst Hospital in Queens were abuzz about the vaccine.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were all talking about it this morning,\u201d an emergency-room nurse told The Post, adding, \u201cThey haven\u2019t asked us for volunteers [to receive it] or told us anything.\u201d<\/p>\n
