CVS vaccine appointments are fully booked in nearly every New York county hours after eligibility opened up to people 30 or older

• CVS booked nearly all COVID-19 vaccine appointments in New York by noon on Tuesday.
• The state extended eligibility to people 30-years-old and up at 8 a.m. March 30.
• As of 11:41 a.m., available appointments only existed in Cortland, Endicott, and Wayland.

CVS booked nearly all of its COVID-19 vaccine appointments the morning New York opened eligibility to those 30-years-old and over.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced yesterday that all New Yorkers over 30 years old would be eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine starting Tuesday, March 30 at 8 a.m.

Within hours, CVS locations in almost every city in New York were fully booked out of vaccine appointments, though the company said availability can change quickly based on demand.

"As supply becomes available, appointments will open up," CVS spokesperson Tara Burke told Insider. "As supply opens up, we will open additional locations."

Fully booked cities include New York City, Syracuse, Buffalo, and Albany. As of 11:41 a.m., available appointments only existed in Cortland, Endicott, and Wayland.

Burke said CVS cannot comment on the specific time patients unable to schedule appointments on Tuesday can sign up next, but said the company will open more appointments as soon as supplies increases.

This is a developing story.
