In the midst of a new wave of coronavirus infections nationwide in the United States, the New York entity started today with mass vaccination against covid-19 for people over 16 years old, a feature in the sanitation program that the Florida and Texas areas have already started.

Precisely President Joe Biden also communicated that this scheme in the inoculation plan It will be implemented at the national level as of April 19 and not on May 1, as previously announced.

In the week of March 28 to April 4, New York registered an average of 8 thousand infections a day, a figure very close to the 11 thousand that occurred every day in April 2020, when the city of skyscrapers became a kind of ghost territory and the most contaminated area of ​​covid-19 in the world.

After a new record was broken on Saturday after the application of 4 million doses in one day throughout the country, 150 million doses were reached in the first 75 days of the Biden government, whose new goal of 200 million vaccines in 100 days is on time and how to fulfill it.

And if previously 17 thousand pharmacies could vaccinate citizens, now the number grows to 40 thousand. The intention is that 90 percent have a place to be vaccinated within 5 miles of their home.

Unlike a year ago, in which the daily death toll was over a thousand, New York now registered an average of 80 deaths every 24 hours the previous week.

One of the reasons why economic openness in the Big Apple takes more shape every day without seeming to be going backwards.
