Dianne Morales had a cold. Not COVID, she’s fully vaccinated, but when she arrived at the Jackson Heights Greenmarket on Sunday, acutely aware that this was a pivotal moment in the mayor’s race and for her candidacy, she was battling congestion and a slight sore throat. So she did what we’ve all learned to do: she wore two masks and proceeded with caution.
Dressed in a white shirt, linen blazer, and black pants, she elbow-bumped and chatted with prospective voters and volunteers, posing for pictures and listening to the issues that mattered to them. Her stump speech, which she delivers at campaign events like this one, is as much about making a case for her own candidacy as it is about broader involvement.

CVS and Walgreens alone have accounted for more than half of the thousands of wasted COVID-19 vaccine doses, according to an analysis of public data conducted by
Kaiser Health News (
KHN).
KHN revealed that, of 182,874 total wasted doses documented by the CDC as of late March, about half were unused by CVS and 21% by Walgreens.
The wasted doses still account for only a small proportion of the doses the pharmacy chains have administered, according to spokespeople, and an even smaller proportion of total doses administered nationwide.
