Long Islanders traveling far to get COVID-19 vaccine

Frustrated with the shortage of vaccine appointments on Long Island, many are planning trips upstate for the vaccine. Diana Otte of Port Washington has a trip to Plattsburgh scheduled for the end of March, while Peter Bartfeld and Teri Schure of North Woodmere, who were also planning a trip to Plattsburgh, were able to find an appointment closer to Long Island.
