NYC Schools See Shortage of COVID Vaccine for Kids During City-Run Drive | News 4 Now

Parents at a number of New York City public schools were in line very early Monday morning to give their newly-eligible children the COVID-19 shot.

However, a number of city schools apparently got more than they bargained for as News 4 New York was made aware of reports that some schools quickly ran out of shots during the first day of the city-run COVID vaccine drive for kids.

Dozens of parents walked their kids to school with the hopes they would be partially vaccinated against COVID-19 before lunchtime. As the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine was walked onto the playground at P.S. 261 parents applauded the health care workers. But those same cheers turned into concerns when the vaccine distributor ran out of vaccines in less than an hour.
