State Sen. Joe Griffo called on Thursday for an investigation into a how an unpublished web link allowed ineligible people to schedule appointments to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.
The link was shared on social media, allowing people in parts of upstate New York and Long Island to schedule vaccine appointments. Once the error was realized, the appointments were cancelled. Gov. Andrew Cuomo s administration said in a statement earlier this month the incident was referred to the state inspector general.
But Griffo, a Republican, believes the incident should be further investigated as the vaccine distribution has lagged amid a lack of supply and an expanding pool of eligible people.
