Some Big Apple subways and LIRR and Metro-North stations are being turned into pop-up COVID-19 vaccination sites this week in an effort to boost lagging immunizations, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Monday.

Those people receiving the vaccine — Johnson & Johnson’s single-shot dose only — at a subway station will receive a free seven-day MetroCard pass, while Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North riders can expect two free trips, Cuomo said.

“Get a shot, and take a free ride on the MTA,’’ the governor said a press briefing.

Mr. Cuomo's statement triggered a flashback.

This is how you get everyone vaccinated, not with 'pasports', fines and social stigmatism.

Why not apply the "MTA Rule" and not let them OFF unless they -pay the extra nickle- have been vaccinated?

Passports make sense.

If people still haven’t been vaccinated after FDA full approval then start regulating hard.
 
I can't believe they allow anyone who isn't vaccinated to ride the subway. Covidiots.
