SULLIVAN, New York (WABC) A 101-year-old World War II veteran in Upstate New York is now arming himself in the fight against COVID-19.
Robert Read arrived at a vaccination center in the town of Sullivan on Monday and was looking forward to getting his first dose of the vaccine.
He was among the first seniors to get the vaccine as part of Group 1B, which includes people over the age of 75. It went fine.no problem so far, but I don t, my daughter s going to drive back just in case.but I must say it was well organized, Read said.
That distinction prompted the NYC Hospitality Alliance to put out a statement: The court s preliminary decision and the Governor s action to remove indoor dining restrictions in all orange zones makes the status of the indoor dining ban in New York City all the more outrageous and destructive to thousands of restaurants across the five boroughs, especially when our infection and hospitalization rates are lower than most counties in the State where indoor dining is permitted at 50% occupancy. Continuation of the indoor dining ban in New York City is divorced from any of the data and criteria the State has articulated and must be ended now.
NEW YORK (WABC) The rollout of COVID-19 vaccinations has been rocky and confusing across the New York area and large swaths of the country, and now, one former federal health official says we re at least a month behind where we should be. Unacceptable, former FDA Associate Commissioner Peter Pitts said. The baton was dropped, and we need to pick it up and get going.
Operation Warp Speed worked when it came to developing the vaccines, but getting them into people s arms has been anything but fast.
In New York City, only about 23,000 people have received both doses as of Tuesday afternoon.
