Coronavirus: New York to fine hospitals that don’t deploy COVID- 19 vaccine doses within a week, Cuomo says

The State of New York will begin fining hospitals that fail to deploy their allotted COVID-19 vaccine doses within a week of receiving them and will decline to provide them with further doses, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in a press conference on Monday. The U.S. federal government has distributed more than 13 million vaccines around the country but only around 4 million doses have actually been administered, according to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
