GAZETTE COVERAGE
County officials announced expansion of the Schenectady County Delivers program, which brings the vaccine to county residents who can’t get out to a vaccination site. The program will prioritize those who are homebound for medical reasons but will consider providing the service to those constrained by childcare or other issues.
Multiple members of the same household can receive a dose during these visits.
Schenectady County Public Health Services will be dedicating as many as 30 staff members to this effort, ranging from scheduling shots to administering them and following up afterward.

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.
