Andrew Cuomo: COVID-19 vaccine fraud could cost New York healthcare providers $1M and license Print this article
New York will hold companies accountable for committing fraud in their distribution of coronavirus vaccines, issuing a fine of up to $1 million to any offending corporation and revoking its license to practice in the state, according to Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Were you sent the vaccine because you made false representations? That s the question, Cuomo said during a press conference held Monday afternoon.
The governor said that with the order he was signing, offending healthcare providers could lose their state license and be subjected to both civil and criminal penalties. He said that all cases would be referred to the office of New York Attorney General Letitia James.
