J.D. Allen / WSHU Public Radio Lawmakers on Long Island want New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to find a fast work-around for seniors to get a COVID-19 vaccine. New Yorkers 65 and over, first responders, teachers, and healthcare workers face a backlog of appointments until May. Anna Foley is 83. She has cancer and multiple underlying conditions that make her vulnerable to the virus. Foley said she feels like the state has failed to keep her safe. "I even told my children, I said if anything happens to me as far as of COVID, just bypass the stop and take me to the mortuary, because I don’t have a chance in hell to survive,” Foley said.
