Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro is asking Gov. Andrew Cuomo to allow police, corrections officers, firefighters, ambulance personal and other first responders not currently covered by the state s COVID-19 vaccination plan to be added to the list.
“Making the vaccine immediately available to this larger, yet still, essential population, will allow for a faster and more efficient vaccination campaign, Molinaro said in a letter to Cuomo, sent to Hudson Valley Post. I believed we must do everything in our power to protect them and those they serve. Leaving these groups to wait is a serious miscalculation and would be detrimental to the public s health and wellbeing.
