New York Gov. Kathy Hochul plans to sign an executive order allowing pharmacists to administer the COVID-19 vaccine to anyone who wants it. Hochul announced the news Thursday, saying the order will allow New Yorkers to make “their own healthcare decisions” amid confusion over the vaccine’s availability.
In a statement, a spokesperson for Hochul said the order will “ensure seamless access” while Hochul works with the state legislature on a long-term solution to protect access to vaccines.
