Hall of Fame pitcher in New York Yankee legend Mariano Rivera joined New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and others Friday as Yankee Stadium was transformed into a mass vaccination site for local residents to receive the covert 19 vaccine.

The site was set up by the city and state to try and combat the high positivity rate in the Bronx and increase the number of people of color who received the vaccine.

Long lines were formed in the rain outside the stadium for a chance to get the shot.

Which Doctor Raymond College founder and chairman of so most community care, the company administering the vaccine says is worth it?

This is the virus.

What did you see?

Who could kill you?

Piece of the vaccine.

Why do you prefer you could die from the virus?

You could be safe from the vaccine.

It's a simple as that on.

I know not doing this.

We're gonna say many lives.

Mayor de Blasio used the moment to plead with the federal government form or supply of the vaccine for the city right now, in New York City is giving about a third of the vaccinations we could if we had supply.

It's just troubling to me.

It is deeply troubling that we could be right now doing 900,000 vaccinations, Ah, week and we can't get supply.

So I'm saying to the federal government, You have to get the rest of the pharmaceutical industry into this fight.

We need more help than just what we're getting from Pfizer in the DONUT officials said the stadium site can handle up to 15,000 appointments a week.
