“#NYPD cops face delayed COVID-19 vaccine rollout<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

NYPD cops will not begin receiving the coronavirus vaccine on Tuesday as previously scheduled, according to Commissioner Dermot Shea \u2014 with a detectives\u2019 union memo citing issues with the state supply chain.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are waiting,\u201d said Shea during a wide-ranging briefing held Tuesday at One Police Plaza. \u201cAs recently as last week or a week-and-a-half ago we were hoping that we\u2019d get it now and into the first week of January. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re relying on the state and city department of health to advise us when we\u2019re in line,\u201d the top cop continued. \u201cWe certainly app<\/a>reciate that everyone wants to get this and we have to wait for our fair turn in line and that\u2019s what we\u2019re doing. But we\u2019re anxiously awaiting it and want it as soon as possible.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Shea\u2019s remarks confirmed a memo circulated Monday within the Detectives\u2019 Endowment Association union warning that the shots were delayed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe State has not released the vaccine in the quantity needed for the NYPD,\u201d the memo, a copy of which was obtained by The Post, reads in part. \u201cWe\u2019ve made numerous attempts to get updated information, and when we get further word on its availability, we will immedia<\/a>tely keep our members apprised of the new date and the method of distribution.\u201d<\/p>\n

Patrick Lynch, the president of the Police Benevolent Association union, blasted the delay for the Finest.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce again, politicians in Albany and City Hall are wasting time with bureaucratic gymnastics instead of looking at the reality on the ground,\u201d he said in a statement. \u201cNew York City police officers aren\u2019t just on the front line. We cover every part of the front line: from hospitals and housing complexes to the corner store.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have more daily contact with New Yorkers than any other city agency,\u201d he continued. \u201cWe are continuing to press for vaccines to be made available to police officers as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

The city and state departments of health did not immediately respond to requests for comment.<\/p>\n

FDNY EMTs began receiving the vaccine last week.<\/p>\n

Shea has said the vaccinations would be voluntary for the NYPD, but later acknowledged that there was a chance they could become compulsory.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
