That’s how long it took Terry Phillips to schedule an appointment to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
“I worked on it from 5:30 to 10:30 p.m. at night,” Phillips, 80, told me. “My computer kept crashing. It would take five minutes to input all the data, and then it would crash. It was very frustrating.”
It’s been several weeks since New York state expanded COVID-19 vaccine eligibility to those 65 and over, but appointments remain elusive for many.
One big barrier is supply New York needs more doses to meet the demand for a vaccine from a pandemic-weary populace eager to get inoculated.
