New York s vaccine supply shortage impacting local vaccinations
Governor Andrew Cuomo said the state expected more vaccines from the federal government when eligibility expanded, but that did not happen.

He said the state received less, 250,000 for the upcoming week instead of 300,000.
It s a delay to an already slow process for Western New Yorkers like Edie Monroe. Monroe teaches in person five days a week and was eager to sign up for the vaccine when teachers became eligible.
