New York City's first harm reduction vending machine dispensed 100 Narcan kits in its first week, according to an msn.com report.

The machine, recently installed at the corner of Decatur street and Broadway in Brooklyn's Ocean Hill neighborhood, has been restocked daily with kits dispensing Narcan, which treats opioid overdoses.

Additional machines will be installed in the next year.
