New York State Team
Waning demand for COVID-19 vaccinations in New York has ignited desperate pleas from some local officials to have any adult walk in to vaccine clinics and get a shot.
While just weeks ago vaccine supply shortages had New Yorkers crisscrossing the state looking for appointments, some county leaders now find themselves flush with thousands of doses in search of more arms.
Broome County officials recently offered up free Jim Roma’s Bakery sandwiches and chips to entice people to get vaccinated at an American Legion.
At the end of the day, just 71 out of 100 shots were taken.
