“#NYC to get extra 17K COVID-19 vaccine doses under Biden push<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

New York City will receive about 17,000 extra doses of the coveted coronavirus vaccine starting next week under President Biden\u2019s new push to get out more shots, Mayor Bill de Blasio said Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Biden on Tuesday bumped up the total federal allocation from about 8.6 million doses per week to app<\/a>roximately 10 million, in response to state and local leaders\u2019 pleas for enough shots to keep their inoculation efforts humming.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat means about 17,000 more doses each week for us,\u201d said de Blasio during his daily press briefing. \u201cThat means 17,000 more shots of hope, 17,000 more New Yorkers who are safer and are feeling that confidence and that sense of peace that comes with getting vaccinated, even just the first time, and knowing that things are gonna be better.\u201d<\/p>\n

The city was allocated about 107,000 first doses of the two-dose vaccine this week, meaning that its new allotment will sit at about 124,000 per week.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m the first to say [that] we\u2019re going to need a lot more than that,\u201d de Blasio said. \u201cBut I\u2019m also really happy to get those 17,000 new doses.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hizzoner also praised the Biden administration\u2019s pending purchase of another 100 million doses each of the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines.<\/p>\n

Once the deal is finalized, those doses are set to go into circulation over the summer, according to the president.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe president\u2019s decision to go ahead and order 200 million more doses of the vaccine to speed up this process [is] really good news<\/a> for all of us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

As of Tuesday, New York was down to just 7,700 first-dose shots on hand.<\/p>\n

Production-side delays and the federal government\u2019s tight leash on allocations have forced New York to postpone tens of thousands of appointments, and shutter large-scale distribution sites due to a lack of supply.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
