The nurse vaccinated is affiliated with LIJ. LIJ is split between Queens and Nassau. While a child born at LIJ is most likely to be listed as born in Queens/NYC, some staff working at LIJ can mainly be on the Nassau side of LIJ. Is she a critical care nurse in Nassau?

For point of reference this child was born at LIJ late 60's and has a NYC birth certificate and so was this child's brother 2.5 years later though the birth started in Queens Main Street Library and Mom did finish reading a book to me as the story goes reportedly book was aviation related.

Also the vaccine finder site is not too useful--no sites have openings. They direct you to an alternate site which Microsoft flags as being "off limits"--I'm using MSEDGE browser.
There was a site where you could get "wait listed" if you meet the eligibility conditions, but it seems to have disappeared.

I believe they lowered the age from 75 to 65.

Looks like the map is sort of working, but you have to click on the location for the pin to display - that's pretty backwards. Not sure beyond that as I received mine thru work.
