Last-minute vaccine cancellations in New York City catches some off-guard

Thousands of people had their Covid-19 vaccine appointments canceled at the last minute in New York City -- starting Thursday -- when the city announced it was experiencing a supply shortage.

Chris Bastian — who was scheduled to have his first dose on Thursday — only found out that appointments were being postponed while scrolling through Facebook on Wednesday night.

“I was never contacted directly by the city,” Bastian, 61, said. “I went by the vaccine center this [Thursday] afternoon just to make sure and to get whatever information I could, and while I was there another couple arrived and they had an appointment and they had not been notified either.”

The New York City Health Department said in a statement online that over 22,000 appointments for the first dose of the vaccine that were made for Jan. 21-Jan. 24 will be rescheduled to next week, and that those affected should have received an email or phone call to be alerted of the change.

However, Bastian says he received neither.

"I'm not afraid," Bastian said of having his Brooklyn appointment postponed. "My wife and I have been taking very responsible isolating policies — but it's annoying."

I am older than you and still waiting for the V A to call when it is my turn. Many are ahead of me but like you I am careful and tend to stay put.
