New York pharmacies begin vaccinations with limited supply
Pharmacies in New York have begun to administer shots of the COVID-19 vaccine.
NEW YORK - New York City resident Linda Rosenheim was relieved to get her first shot of the COVID-19 vaccine. It wasn t at a hospital or a clinic, but a pharmacy. Healthcare worker Anna Caldero also got her first shot at the same pharmacy. I feel a lot of relief. I don t have to wait on line, Caldero said. I don t have to wait a longer time.
New York pharmacies just became eligible to administer the COVID-19 vaccine. It s a slow rollout though, which the state blames on the federal government. Pharmacists are now asking their eligible customers to be patient.
