Bronx Boosters: Yankee Stadium becomes mass vaccination site
Associated PressNEW YORK — Yankee Stadium was opened as a COVID-19 mass vaccination site Friday by officials trying to boost inoculation rates in surrounding Bronx neighborhoods hard hit by the pandemic. “The Bronx has suffered.” De Blasio, a Red Sox fan, donned a Yankees cap in gratitude to the team and declared himself a fan of Boston’s archrival “for one day only.” The site established with help from the city and state has registered about 13,000 of the 15,000 appointments available in its first week, officials said. I was registered around town and nobody called me,” she said, but her doctor “was on the ball, and found out as soon as Yankee Stadium got the vaccine.” Not everyone had a smooth experience. “So, you know, it’s an issue.” Plans to provide COVID-19 inoculations at Yankee Stadium and Citi Field, the New York Mets’ home in Queens, were delayed by a shortage of vaccine doses.
