Hours-long wait times were reported at Manhattan’s Jacob Javits Center vaccination hub on Tuesday — with a massive line at one point extending outside and around the block.

Several people took to Twitter to share their experiences — with one woman flagging the situation to a city councilman who is running for Manhattan borough president.

“Hey @MarkLevineNYC pls be aware of current situation at @javitscenter: 100s of people with comorbidities have been in line for several hours & are still not close to getting their shot,” Anne Summers wrote just before 5 p.m.

“My partner arrived at 2.45 for his 3.15 appt & still has 100s ahead of him. No one supervising,” she wrote.

Responding with his own tweet, Levin, whose district does not cover the site, called the long lines “horrible” and said he contacted the site.

About 40 minutes later, Rolling Stone writer EJ Dickson said on Twitter that somebody collapsed amid a three-hour wait.

Earlier in the day, just before noon, the line to get vaccinated inside the convention center extended outside, all the way to the Hudson River, according to BuzzFeedNews political reporter Ryan Brooks.

The Jacob Javits Center is one of several mass vaccination sites within the city and state.

Mayor Bill de Blasio griped on Monday that more than 42 percent of the shots administered at the state-run site went to non-city residents.

“The big sites don’t help us improve equity,” the mayor said. “These sites do not perform like we’d like to see.’’

A spokesman for Gov. Andrew Cuomo said the site is “firing on all cylinders”

I wouldn’t stand in any line for something I trusted. Why would I stand in line for the hoax vaccine?

Sounds like they’re running it like they did with actual China virus patients.....who mysteriously never showed up.

Maybe the Javitz Center expected China virus postitive people were sent to Andy’s nursing home circuit.

NYC ‘health’ care, at its finest.

So they are 3+ hours behind schedule, people passing out, and Cuomo is saying how great everything is going.

NYC is a disaster.

Getting my second dose at Hoover Met (Alabama) Thursday. UAB is running the operation like a Chikfila drive through. Very smooth. I’m impressed.

““My partner arrived at 2.45 for his 3.15 appt & still has 100s ahead of him. No one supervising,” she wrote.”

Saying something like that can result in violent misunderstandings. Much better to keep her mouth shut, or go with her husband or boyfriend.

My wife works at a small CVS store (N CT) and they are having long lines for the vaccine by late afternoons.

We were laughing about it—because anyone with a little common sense knows to make morning appointments for anything.

Everything takes longer than planned (in the real world) which means afternoon appointments assure long waits.

(Of course, many of the folks dumb enough to risk their health on these (rushed to market Big Pharma jackpot) vaccines lack the common sense to avoid afternoon appointments.)
