New York City is slated to run out of the coveted COVID-19 vaccine by the end of the week — and that will force the Big Apple to start closing its injection sites and cancel appointments, Mayor Bill de Blasio warned Tuesday.
“We are running out of vaccine and we need it desperately,” de Blasio said during a City Hall press briefing. “At the rate we are going, we will begin to run out this Thursday and we will have nothing left to give as of Friday.”
De Blasio said that if the city does not get a new supply of the two-dose coronavirus vaccines from companies Pfizer and Moderna, “we will have to cancel appointments and no longer give shots after Thursday.”
“This is crazy,” Hizzoner declared. “This is not the way it should be.”
The mayor said the city is getting a “small supply” of just 53,000 doses this week, leaving city-run sites with just 116,000 doses available until a new supply comes in next week.

Doubts about the safety of the Moderna vaccine, Health Department in Kansas
“My staff is not comfortable with that. It’s a new technology. We’ve never seen it before. It was only studied in 45 people before it was approved…,” Payer said.

Coffee County in Kansas has roughly 8,500 residents, but they won’t be getting their COVID-19 shots from the county health department’s four nurses.
Department chief Lindsay Payer and her staffers have opted out of giving the injections because they have doubts about the safety of the Moderna vaccine, which the county is offering, local TV station WIBW reported.
Payer told WIBW that her employees made up their own minds and “not without considerable thought.” The county will hire at least one outside nurse, who will be paid with COVID-19 funds.
“I will tell you we will have to contract staff…because my staff is not comfortable with that. It’s a new technology. We’ve never seen it before. It was only studied in 45 people before it was approved…,” Payer said.
“It’s somewhat discomforting to a nurse who has to put that in people’s bodies.”
