BREAKING—New York has ordered healthcare providers to use #COVID19 vaccines within 7 days of receipt or face fines up to $100,000.
2) Cuomo is also expanding eligibility list. https://twitter.com/nygovcuomo/status/1346142705689231360
3) I suspect the new vaccine rules partly because the more contagious B117 variant has arrived in NY. https://twitter.com/drericding/status/1346212107616972802
4) More details:
Going forward, NY providers must use all doses within seven days of receipt -- and if they fail to do so, they could be disqualified from future vaccine distributions. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcnewyork.com/news/coronavirus/way-behind-nyc-councilman-pushes-for-24-7-vaccine-sites-as-feared-surge-upon-surge-looms/2809875/%3famp

5) This seems a bit harsh but given the new B117 variant now in NY, it’s also understandable the urgency to get vaccines rolled out fast.
Public policy needs to balance saving lives as priority.
