332ds agoNew York City is on pace to run out of its COVID-19 vaccine
supply next week, Mayor Bill de Blasio says.
He called on the federal government to send additional
doses.
In an interview with WNYC public radio, Mayor de Blasio
said, “The supply should go to where there is an infrastructure to get it into
people’s arms. We know there is supply in this country not being used.”
According to a release tweeted out by the mayor, the city
has under 186,000 first doses remaining.
“Two of the city’s largest hospital systems of NYU and Mt.
Sinai are no longer booking appointments for the time being and we expect all
systems to run out by the end of next week without resupply.”
It says that the city has administered 337,500 doses so far,
including 42,000 second doses.
