NEW YORK, Feb. 1 (Xinhua) -- Facing a limited supply of COVID-19 vaccine doses and what they say is a disjointed system for securing appointments, some New York residents are planning to travel hundreds of miles across the state to get a shot, The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday.

Other New York residents also said their vaccine appointments were a good excuse for a mini-vacation. But most described the appointment process as vexing and said they were frustrated that the state hadn't allocated a greater number of doses to more densely populated regions, said the Journal.
