Cuomo Announces Vaccine Distribution to Recovering Addicts in NYC
Jan 8, 2021
Recovering Addicts in NYC are receiving the first widespread distribution of the covid-19 vaccine. Many are furious with this choice of Cuomo's.
Huntington Beach, United States - January 8, 2021 /MarketersMedia/ —
Governor Andrew Cuomo announced at a news conference that people recovering from addiction would get the COVID-19 vaccine in New York this week. The announcement has angered Republican lawmakers, but not by the governor himself.
Cuomo told reporters Monday that the expected 259,000 doses of the vaccine would go primarily to people cared for by the OASAS, the Office of Addiction Services and Assistance. That's problematic because they're densely populated, "the governor said, according to the New York State Department of Health.
He outlined a plan to vaccinate people who are administering the coronavirus vaccine and people who are continuing to administer it, Cuomo said in a news release.
The vaccine will be forgotten for a week, according to the New York State Department of Health.
In a tweet, he expressed concern that people recovering from addiction could strike a nerve with seniors. He continued: 'I expect to open it to people in the next few days, maybe even a few weeks. The plan calls for the jab to be used for a week but has been dismissed as an "absolute disgrace."
Florida Senator Rick Scott also criticized Cuomo on Twitter, calling him America's worst governor. He accused the governor of "letting the people of New York down again" and accused him of "letting the people of New York down." This time, it is about prioritizing the tens of thousands of older adults who have been living in their homes since the pandemic began.
Scott added: "They should be aware that vaccines have been prioritized. The New York State Department of Health, the agency that will oversee these residents' vaccinations, responded to the backlash in a statement to CBS Albany News.
A spokesman said: "There is no stigma attached to people's recovery when it comes to equal access to healthcare. Those at high risk for COVID should be vaccinated simultaneously as everyone else in their community. These people deserve the same access to health care as everyone else, regardless of age, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or disability.
