Every weekday morning, I spend a lot of time reading the news — newspapers, magazines, websites and apps — so I can bring you "In the Papers." There's so much to read and so much to share that now, every week, I want to highlight some of the best stuff I've seen:
1. I Tried to Get a 'Leftover Dose' of the Vaccine Last Night
The Cut
The state and city have proven again that they aren't up to the organizational task of getting New Yorkers vaccinated quickly. One of many examples: the scramble for a few doses that were offered "first come, first served" in Brooklyn.
2. More Than One of Every Four People Vaccinated in the City Don't Live in the Five Boroughs
THE CITY
Another example of the vaccine fail: the high number of people getting the shot even though they don't live here.
