NYC Reports Fewer Than 1,000 Vaccine Doses Amid Winter Weather Shipment Delays

New York City reported less than 1,000 doses of the Covid-19 vaccine in its possession Saturday, according to data from the city’s website, amid delivery shortages due to the severe winter weather that has battered parts of the U.S.

Avery Cohen, a spokesperson for New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio (D), tweeted that the lack of sufficient doses has brought the city’s vaccination efforts to a “standstill.”

The New York City government website reports that to date, 1,471,948 vaccine doses have been administered, including 873,223 first doses and 453,816 second doses.
