The City gets its supply from the state.
The state says their shipments were delayed this week due to the winter storms impacting much of the country.
Governor Cuomo said Friday, Every dose that should have shipped on Monday was held back, and only a limited number of Pfizer vaccines left shipping facilities on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Mayor Bill de Blasio said he wants to cut Cuomo out of the process and get the vaccine shipped directly to the city.
NEW YORK (WABC) As COVID vaccine eligibility expands once again in New York, one of the top spots for those appointments will be the newly-opened site at Yankee Stadium.
The massive new site, which opened Friday to Bronx residents only, is stepping up in the race to vaccinate New Yorkers.
Opening day happened on the same day Governor Andrew Cuomo announced those with comorbidities and underlying health conditions are eligible for the vaccine regardless of their age starting Feb. 15
It s a very rare sight to see Yankee Stadium them open for activity in February let alone at 8 a.m. Saturday when vaccinations will be available for Bronx residents.
