Coronavirus vaccination appointments scheduled for Monday have been postponed due to the impending snowstorm, Mayor Bill de Blasio said on Sunday – as well as the suspension of in-person classes and side parking alternative.

At least 14 to 16 inches of snow is expected to cover New York City from Sunday night and continue through Tuesday, the mayor said at a city hall press briefing.

“Fourteen to sixteen inches would be bad enough,” he said. “It could be much more than that.”

With the storm receding, de Blasio announced that all coronavirus vaccination appointments scheduled for Monday would be postponed, with a call on Tuesday’s appointments still to be made.

“The last thing we want to do is get our seniors to come out in the middle of a storm like this,” he said.

Additionally, face-to-face classes at public schools were dropped for Monday, along with online classes.

As with immunization appointments, a call for Tuesday’s classes has yet to be made, de Blasio said.

Parking on the alternative side was suspended on Monday and Tuesday, he said.
