CNHI ALBANY Eligible for the COVID-19 vaccination for more than a month, Paul Rapp, a 65-year-old lawyer, says he has tried lining up an appointment by regularly checking an array of web sites for appointments and visiting his local pharmacy. “I have spent hours and hours online, trying to get into a queue and nothing,” the Ulster County resident told CNHI. “It’s bewildering, even if you’re computer savvy.” His luck didn’t change when he dropped in at his local chain pharmacy. He said there had been indications doses would be available, then he was told the shots would not be administered because there was not sufficient supply for a second shot.
On Dec. 14, 2020, transportation worker Carlos Rosa was the first of 10 employees at the University of Rochester Medical Center to receive their first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. County leaders in New York said Tuesday that their health departments have been developing vaccination plans for years and can help smooth the rocky rollout of the state’s coronavirus vaccination program, but they need more cooperation from Gov. Andrew Cuomo and his administration. The county executives, in a news conference on Zoom, said their health departments are required by state law to have mass vaccination plans, and they have been updating them regularly with test runs of their systems and investment in staff training.

The county executives, in a news conference on Zoom, said their health departments are required by state law to have mass vaccination plans, and they have been updating them regularly with test runs of their systems and investment in staff training.
But they said Cuomo and the state health department are not providing data that they need and are leaving them out of key meetings. They said that makes it more difficult to coordinate the distribution of the vaccines in their communities when the doses arrive.
Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro, the head of the bipartisan New York State County Executives Association, said if the state uses the counties’ expertise, it will greatly speed up vaccinations.
