Jackson Heights Life

does anyone know where one can get this in the neighborhood or at least close by?

I've been volunteering with Vaccine Angels and located J+J for a few who requested it. The nearest big site to us that carries it is The Javits: https://am-i-eligible.covid19vaccine.health.ny.gov/

For other sites, the Vaccine Finder is helpful because it tells you which site has which vax:

https://vaccinefinder.nyc.gov/

The drug stores are a mixed bag. Rite Aid/Duane Reade has Pfizer. CVS has J+J.

CVS's system is a bit wonky. It works best on Phone. It will tell you that all of NY state is booked up, but you can trick it into revealing new openings. The first time you're asked to choose a state, choose a state other than New York that you think will have more vax than people who want it. Choose a date. Now edit the date and when you do that change the location. This time search for an area not a zip code, such as Queens, NY.

Many of the drugstores keep a paper waiting list. I've heard from more than a handful of people who say they walked into a drugstore at the end of the day and got one.

For links to all the "finders," this is a pretty good summary:

They are really beautiful inside. You can see that the floors have been refinished, the plaster looks good, the windows all look new. This IS a high price though. I'll be following to see if they get it. If I were looking to move I'd rather get my hands on a crumbly one for a decent price and renovate it to my taste. :-)  But there are lots of folks who don't want to deal with renovations. A backyard and room for a Zoom room or two will be an attraction now.

I love it when I see one of the Tudors for sale! This one last sold in 2019 for $822k, per the history tab. It's obviously gone through an extensive (and tasteful) renovation.

I wonder what the description means by 2 units, though? Did they turn the 1 family into a 2 family? The photos give no hints at two kitchens or anything like that.

Oh, Thank you Steven. I didn't know that. And quite frankly, that sucks!

Please note that restaurant workers are NOT eligible for vaccination at this time. Do NOT make an appointment if you do not qualify.

The following groups are now eligible for vaccine:

Health Care Workers
• High-risk health care workers in hospitals and Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), including NYS Office of Mental Health (OMH) psychiatric centers
• High-risk health care workers who provide direct in-person care in outpatient/ambulatory settings and other staff in these settings who have direct contact with patients (such as reception staff); this group includes workers in private or hospital-affiliated medical practices, specialty medical practices, public health clinics, dental practices and diagnostic and treatment centers; phlebotomists; dialysis workers; occupational therapists; physical therapists; speech therapists; behavioral health workers; and student health workers

Other Eligible Groups

• Frontline, high-risk public health workers who have direct contact with patients or handle COVID-19 specimens or vaccinations

It's all inconsiderate. In our co-op we learned that hospital shift workers with facing apartments were trying to sleep in the morning. Garden hours were changed; everyone compromised. But you won't get to a compromise by posting here.

Anyone know details of classes in the park?

Thank you!

Please, please someone close off 37th Ave to traffic! It will bring many more customers to the businesses there. We love these places and are trying our best to keep patronizing them in rotation. But if half of the traffic now on 34th was relocated to 37th, we would have a fighting chance of keeping a number of these businesses alive.

They're doing this in some Long Island towns.
