BUFFALO, N.Y. — Officials at major pharmaceutical companies testified before federal lawmakers on COVID-19 vaccine supply Tuesday.
In New York State, supply has been delayed in recent days, due to winter storms nationally. Because of vaccine shipping delays, Niagara County ran into an issue this week in getting people second doses. Last week, the county says it did not receive any vaccine.
"If I hadn't received 1,000 doses yesterday [Monday], then I would've had problems with my second dose clinic I'm at now," said Dan Stapleton, the public health director for Niagara County.
