"Administering a vaccine is going to make testing look simple,” Governor Andrew Cuomo emphasized on Monday during a press conference call.

Cuomo highlighted the enormous task of trying to get 19.5 million New Yorkers vaccinated against COVID-19, once a vaccine is released most likely next year.

On Sunday, the governor rolled out a glimpse at how a vaccine would be distributed, starting with essential health care workers and those with a high risk of catching the virus.

“Seven months, all hands on deck, to get testing in place...everything we had, we threw at it,” Cuomo explained.

Even still, the state has only conducted around 13 million coronavirus tests in the last seven months. Each New Yorker will mostly likely need two doses of the vaccine, which means around 40 million doses will need to be distributed.

"How long is it going to take us to administer just 20 million vaccines?” Cuomo questioned.

Yesterday, the state conducted 82,009 tests, and out of those, 998 were positive, or 1.21 percent. Total hospitalizations are at 934, and 14 New Yorkers died from COVID-19 yesterday.
