Governor Cuomo Briefing February 2 2021
NEW: state vaccine allocations are going to increase AGAIN, from 16% to 20% with a three week advance notice.
Direct pharmacy program with the federal govt is to be implemented, to supply 10% of the federal vaccine stock to private pharmacy networks. Why? Because they’re already good flu shot distributors nationwide. So that’s an even greater increase in vaccine supply across every state.
All federal govt allocations come in two doses for both Pfizer and Moderna, with reserves held for the second dose.
To expand vaccinations right now, one suggestion is that states use current second dose reserves as first doses, but there is no word from the government about that.
“ I don’t have enough” is the national problem.
