Tom Magnarelli / WRVO Public Media More New Yorkers will become eligible to receive the COVID vaccine beginning Monday, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Friday. Concerns remains, though, for having enough supply to meet demand, as members of the Western New York Vaccination Hub explained shortly after the governor's announcement. Phase 1-B, when it begins Monday, will allow first responders, teachers, public transit and public safety workers, and individuals ages 75 and older to receive their first COVID vaccine dose. Under Phase 1-A, however, only an estimated 23 percent of eligible recipients - mainly healthcare workers - have been vaccinated to date. “We only get 300,000 doses from the federal government a week. And we have a very large population - over 143,000 healthcare workers in Western New York alone,” said Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul, who leads the Western New York Hub. “So you could imagine the challenges and trying to get that administered, but also realizing we are trying to manage the supply we've been given by the federal government.”
