Mayor Bill de Blasio addressed Tuesday the slight concern that New Yorkers may not be showing up for their second doses of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine after getting their first shot because of a larger nationwide trend.

At this point in the rollout, the city has vaccinated about 3.4 million adults with at least the first shot and about 2.3 million with two shots, said de Blasio in his morning briefing.
