New York state has administered 111,316 doses of the coronavirus vaccine over the past 24 hours, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in a statement Saturday afternoon.
Cuomo called for additional vaccines to be delivered, as the state has administered 91% of the doses received from the federal government and “is capable of reaching many more New Yorkers than the current supply allows,” he said.
“New York's health care distribution sites have received 1,768,135 first doses and already administered 91% or 1,602,686 first-dose vaccinations and 78% of first and second doses,” Cuomo said, adding that the eighth week of allocation of vaccines from the federal government continues to be delivered this week.
