With their residents expressing frustration and confusion, Hudson Valley county executives are directing them to go to the state with their issues about signing up for the COVID-19 vaccine. And one leader is imploring the state to send more vaccine as all the counties grapple with high demand and little-to-to-no supply.
Republican Rockland County Executive Ed Day spoke Thursday afternoon:
“What’s happening right now with the vaccine distribution is absolutely unacceptable,” Day says. “There’s no other way of putting it.”
Last Tuesday, Rockland received 1,000 doses of the Moderna vaccine, all of which were administered within three days at the county’s health clinic in Pomona. Rockland then requested 2,000 more doses for this week, and received 200.

Westchester County Executive George Latimer and White Plains Mayor Tom Roach will meet at 1pm today, Friday, January 15 at Holy Crab Cajun Seafood at 32 Mamaroneck Avenue in downtown White Plains. The County Executive and Mayor will be meeting to pick up lunch and support the White Plains BID’s first ever White Plains Restaurant Month taking place now through January 31.
County Executive George Latimer said Here in White Plains, I am proud to stand with my colleague in Government Mayor Tom Roach and the White Plains BID to launch this Restaurant Month initiative. Right now, Westchester’s restaurants are struggling. This month, if you can, show them some support and order that extra takeout meal – what may be one night for you can really add up for these small businesses that are the backbone of our community.

With the administering of the COVID-19 vaccine to eligible people under way, counties in New York have been running out of doses quickly. The process has been bumpy, and some county leaders hope it will be ironed out soon as they field numerous calls and remind residents that the program is run by the state.
Democratic Westchester County Executive George Latimer delivered a vaccine update Monday.
“Westchester County government received, last week, last Tuesday, 500 doses to be administered, and those 500 doses were given to the county. They were administered through our White Plains Department of Health clinic on Court Street, not far from where I’m standing in the county office building,” says Latimer. “And through Friday, we were able to properly deliver all of those 500 units to those who are eligible in the 1A category.”
