New York City officials had vowed last week that the COVID-19 Vaccine Finder website would be updated “beginning on June 21,' but no appointments for the pediatric shots had emerged on the NYC Vaccine Finder website as of Tuesday afternoon.

The volume of the supply at public sites and pediatricians will be crucial, as under New York state law, pharmacies cannot vaccinate children under 3 years old. The state Department of Health said outside of the city, providers have ordered only around 39,000 doses of the vaccines.

“Probably shipping will start in the next day or so. I'm a little surprised it hasn't started already because parents are so anxious to get their kids vaccinated,” Horowitz said. “In the past, we've never had a problem doing immunizations, but this one is a particular one,” Baez said. “It's a little hard when you're solo.”
