Northwell operated a Covid-19 vaccination site at St. Hugh of Lincoln Church in Huntington Station on Tuesday.
In mid-afternoon, about 35 people were waiting for, in the process of receiving or waiting to go home after receiving the vaccine. The site received 250 doses of the vaccine and appointments to receive them filled very quickly.
Meanwhile, after President Joe Biden announced that vaccine allocations to states would go up 16 percent for the next three weeks, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo welcomed the increase but said that supply will continue to be extremely limited in the short term.
He also said that as of Tuesday morning, distribution sites have administered 93 percent of first-dose vaccinations.
“You have a new federal government and a totally different approach,” he said. “They came in after 6 days they said we want to partner and you have a competent, professional federal government that tells the truth. Look at what President Biden said. Literally he said to solve this problem we need the vaccine, that’s the weapon that wins the war, we understand that. Now the states will know what they’re getting every week for the next 3 weeks and we’re getting about 16-17 percent more. We can do a schedule for 3 weeks and we can schedule appointments and start to run on an efficient basis rather than what’s been going on.”
