Vaccine miscommunication results in chaotic scene in Brooklyn
A message that may have been intended for a select few went viral Thursday evening, prompting New Yorkers from at least three boroughs to rush to Sunset Park's Brooklyn Army Terminal in the hopes of getting leftover Covid-19 vaccines.
"Please share: We need to give out 410 doses in next 4hours at Brooklyn Army Terminal (by 7pm), taking anyone in community age 18+, walk ins, or earlier than scheduled," the text read, which was shared on Facebook and Twitter and prompted hundreds to descend upon the warehouse complex hoping to get inoculated.
