STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. With coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine eligibility set to expand this week and an increasing supply expected, two elected officials toured a Staten Island vaccination site Monday.
Public Advocate Jumaane Williams and City Councilwoman Debi Rose (D-North Shore) toured the site at Empire Outlets Monday afternoon as calls continue for more vaccine access on Staten Island.

New York City is hundreds of thousands doses away from meeting Mayor Bill de Blasio’s goal to administer 1 million doses by the end of the month.
Vaccine rollout has been plagued with a host of technical issues and rapidly changing eligibility requirements, the latter still leaving behind an untold number of people with pre-existing conditions, who are waiting on state guidance to see if they qualify. Now dwindling supplies from the federal government are impacting distribution. Thousands of appointments for first doses have been rescheduled, and Health + Hospitals is now only booking second shot appointments. Statewide, supplies for first doses are running low as well, Governor Andrew Cuomo said last week.
