| March 2, 2021. Dear Robert, Now that the Johnson & Johnson vaccine has
been authorized for emergency use by the FDA and recommended by the NYS
Clinical Advisory Task Force, we are one step closer to eradicating COVID from
every corner of our state. I'm confident that we will all continue to see
increases to our weekly vaccine supply, but even with the increased supply
allocation, it will still take time to get every New Yorker vaccinated. The war
isn't won until we can reach herd immunity—with enough New Yorkers vaccinated
to protect everyone. I urge all qualifying New Yorkers to make an appointment
and get a vaccine as soon as it's their turn, and to continue to wear a mask
and social distance even after being fully vaccinated. Photo of the Day:

Pollard) Here's what else you need to know tonight: 1. New York will begin
administering the Johnson & Johnson vaccine at state-run mass vaccination sites
later this week. We are launching a new pilot program to begin administering
the Johnson & Johnson single-dose vaccine to eligible New Yorkers during
overnight hours at the Yankee Stadium, Javits Center and New York State Fair
mass vaccination sites. Yankee Stadium will begin administering the vaccine
starting Thursday, March 4, and the Javits Center and New York State Fair sites
will begin administering the vaccine Friday, March 5. 2. COVID
hospitalizations rose slightly to 5,369. Of the 128,034 tests reported
yesterday, 5,800 or 4.53 percent, were positive. There were 1,076 patients in
ICU yesterday, up 11 from the previous day. Of them, 747 are intubated. Sadly,
we lost 82 New Yorkers to the virus. 3. As of 11am today, 95 percent of
first doses allocated to the state have been administered. This represents
3,033,922 first doses administered of the 3,206,430 first dose allocations
received from the federal government. So far, 4,698,354 total doses have been
administered out of the 5,229,950 total doses received. See data by region and
county on the State's Vaccine Tracker: ny.gov/vaccinetracker. 4. The State
announced a pilot program to test the Excelsior Pass at Madison Square Garden
and the Barclays Center. The Excelsior Pass, developed in partnership with IBM,
will use proven, secure technology to confirm an individual's vaccination or a
recent negative COVID-19 test to help fast-track the reopening of many
entertainment venues and other businesses in accordance with New York State
guidelines. This new technology was successfully tested during the initial
phase of the pilot during the Brooklyn Nets game at the Barclays Center on
February 27. It will now be tested for a second time during the New York
Rangers game tonight, March 2, at Madison Square Garden. 5. An additional
$25 million will be directed to the Nourish NY initiative. Since its launch in
April 2020, the Nourish NY program has helped bring 21 million pounds of
surplus agricultural products from New York farmers to households in need. This
additional funding will help the program continue this important effort through
July to ensure that no New Yorker goes hungry. Tonight's "Deep Breath
Moment": Being named an honorary bus operator is an esteemed title, especially
for 5-year-old Amir Gladden. Amir loves buses and for his birthday this year,
his mom reached out to the MTA and asked if there was something special they
could do for her son. The MTA did not disappoint and gave Amir a special
surprise VIP tour of the Tuskegee Airmen Bus Depot facility and gave him his
new honorary title. If you were forwarded this email, you can subscribe to
