AdvertisementBy New York Daily NewsMar 19, 2021 at 6:57 pmIs it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s vaccine supercharge!New York will soon receive more than 1.6 million doses of coronavirus vaccine every week thanks to a manufacturing “supercharge” bankrolled by President Biden’s recently-enacted pandemic relief bill, Sen. Chuck Schumer announced Friday.AdvertisementSpeaking outside the Upper West Side’s Ryan Health Center, which has been revamped into a federal vaccination site, the New York Democrat said the new weekly allocations are expected to kick in by the end of April, amounting to a 33% bump compared to current levels.In addition to beefed-up deliveries, Schumer, the Senate majority leader, said $500 million set aside for vaccination efforts in New York will fund the construction of another 200 vaccination sites across the state and the hiring of another 5,000 vaccination workers.Advertisement“There are going to be many more vaccines, many more sites, many more workers to administer the vaccine as a result of the legislation we passed, and the implementation by President Biden,” said Schumer, who appeared outside the Manhattan vaccination center with Jeff Zients, the coordinator of the White House coronavirus task force.“New York’s COVID vaccine supercharge is now underway, and it’s going to make it easier and quicker for many more people to get the vaccine.”Biden’s $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan — which passed Congress without any Republican support — includes cash for a range of relief, from unemployment benefits and stimulus checks to small business aid and food programs.As it happensGet updates on the coronavirus pandemic and other news as it happens with our free breaking news email alerts. &gt; But the billions of dollars earmarked for producing more vaccines and delivering them faster have routinely been touted by Biden as the most important part of the legislation in terms of fighting the pandemic.Schumer echoed that sentiment on Friday.“Why did we fight so hard to get the ARP done?” he asked. “One of the main reasons is the vaccine.”As of Friday morning, roughly 831,000 New York City residents had been fully vaccinated, according to the .Nationally, the U.S. is injecting roughly 2.2 million vaccine shots every day — and the pace is likely to dramatically increase later this month in conjunction with the expected production and distribution surge.AdvertisementThat puts the U.S. on track to have enough of the three currently authorized vaccines to cover the entire adult population just 10 weeks from now, according to the White House.“Everything’s moving way ahead of schedule,” Schumer said. “There’s light at the end of the tunnel, folks. It’s quicker than we thought.” Advertisement
