NY Covid-19 vaccine rollout stumbles along as supply fluctuates, demand surges

Syracuse, N.Y. – New York’s rapidly expanding Covid-19 vaccine rollout was plagued this week by widespread confusion, enormous frustration, and calls to make the system fairer and easier to use.
Problems cascaded as the state expanded the eligible population to about 7 million people, while New York is getting only 300,000 doses of the vaccine each week. That number is likely to drop to 250,000, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Friday.
People desperate to get vaccinated struggled this week with websites that crashed and a phone line with wait times long enough to watch an entire football game. Tens of thousands secured appointments at six yet-to-open vaccine sites, only to see those appointments canceled by the state Department of Health because the web link wasn’t supposed to be made public yet.
