New York officials on Saturday unveiled a website to track the progress of COVID-19 vaccinations in the state amid concerns over supply and the distribution process itself. 

Melissa DeRosa, a top aide to Gov. Andrew Cuomo, called the website's unveiling on Twitter a "soft launch."

"Site will continue to be built out to include more granular info in the coming days" with updates at midday, she said. 

As of Sunday morning, the site shows 772,399 doses administered and 934,925 doses received by the state. 

The site's development comes amid rising concern from state lawmakers in both parties over the distribution of the vaccine. Cuomo on Friday once again pointed to supply problems at the federal level, noting the state received 50,000 fewer vaccine doses than the previous week's 300,000 doses. 

At the same time, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have released differing numbers for New York's vaccine allocation. State officials say those numbers reflect the amount allocated to New York, not the total doses delivered. 

The Cuomo administration had sought to prioritize health care workers in New York to receive the first batch of COVID-19 vaccinations. A separate federal program was due to vaccinate nursing home residents and staff through commercial pharmacies. In the last week the state began to include essential workers such as police, firefighters and education workers.

The federal government has expanded the eligibility to include people over age 65 as well as people with compromised immune systems. 

The total population eligible for the vaccine now stands at more than 7 million New Yorkers, and state officials have urged people to be patient in scheduling the first dose, saying it could take up to 14 weeks to get an appointment.
