Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced the change Tuesday and said it comes amid a marked decline in the number of vaccinations delivered each day.
The drop-off has been seen nationwide. The federal Centers for Disease Control indicates the United States peaked at 3.23 million doses a day April 10 on a seven-day rolling average. This dropped daily to 2.52 million doses on April 22, the last day for which full data are available.
Cuomo explained the decision as one of supply and demand: Doses of the vaccine, in such short supply for so long, now exceed the number of willing takers.
