New York has now administered 2 million vaccine doses over 130,000 of which have been given in the last 24 hours according to NY Governor Andrew Cuomo.
The state s vaccination sites have administered 90 percent of the first dose vaccinations they has received, and 82 percent of first and second doses, the Governor said.
While the federal government has increased weekly supply by over 20% over the course of the next three weeks, his office said “New York s vast distribution network and large population of eligible individuals still far exceed the supply coming from the federal government.”
