The Hudson Valley has now received 264,710 allocations of COVID-19 vaccine doses, with 201,953 doses administered. The 76 percent of vaccines used is among the lowest rates in the state.
Now more than ever, it's critically important we stay united and keep the momentum on our side - especially as new variants of the virus threaten to upend the progress we have made," New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said. "Simultaneously, we also must continue to get New Yorkers vaccinated as quickly and fairly as possible.
"We've made great progress on that front, but one factor continues to hold us back - the supply," he added. "Thankfully, the new federal government has begun righting the wrongs of the past administration and the future is looking bright. If we all just stay disciplined and keep doing what we need to do, we will win this war."
