He provided a reporter with what appeared to be a packing slip and an email showing that the department of health had shipped 2,300 doses of the vaccine to ParCare.

More than 850 had been administered, he said.

“We are confident the end result of that review will show that ParCare at all times exerted best efforts to comply with all N.Y.S. D.O.H. requirements and will allow us to continue to achieve our number one goal of providing these critical vaccines to the New Yorkers who need them most,” the statement said.

Advertisements for vaccines appeared on ParCare’s Twitter feed on Dec. 16, two days after the Pfizer vaccine was first administered in New York. The advertisement said that “the vaccines will be made available on a first come first serve basis,” and asked patients to register through a website or by scanning a QR code.

The advertisement also said that the Food and Drug Administration authorized ParCare to administer the vaccine, but Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s administration is in charge of distributing the vaccine in the state. Some health clinics in the state have received the vaccine, but they are not yet supposed to administer it to people outside the prioritized groups.

Members of the Orthodox Jewish community in Brooklyn have protested government restrictions on religious gatherings to reduce the spread of the virus, and footage from crowded Orthodox weddings and funerals has appeared on social media.

Orthodox Jewish and Catholic institutions filed a lawsuit against Mr. Cuomo that ended with a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in November that the governor’s coronavirus restrictions on the size of religious services violated the First Amendment’s protection of freedom of religion.

At the time Mr. Cuomo said the decision “doesn’t have any practical effect” because coronavirus cases had declined in many of the areas where the rules were in effect. Now that the rate of positive test results in New York are reaching levels not seen since the spring, the ruling may prove more relevant.
