"Hochul said on Sept. 16 that she would extend a standing executive order that allows New Yorkers to obtain the latest COVID-19 vaccine regardless of health condition. First issued on Sept. 5, the order is an end-around from new restrictions on the vaccine from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration, now under the direction of Dr. Terry Kennedy and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr., both of whom are vaccine skeptics."
"Dr. Terry Kennedy and the FDA, took away the rights of pharmacists to provide lifesaving vaccinations like COVID shots to anyone under the age of 65, or who didn't have preexisting conditions, Hochul said. So basically saying that if you don't have a prescription, parents can't get shots for their children; that adults who want to protect themselves had that right taken away. Hochul said that wouldn't fly in New York state, where we actually believe in science."
"During Tuesday's visit to Echo Pharmacy in Hell's Kitchen, Gov. Kathy Hochul received the COVID-19 shot from pharmacist Danny Chang, who thanked her for standing with the health care community. We believe in preventative measures like shots, and we will not bow down to what the federal government is trying to impose on us, the governor added. Hochul said that wouldn't fly in New York state, where we actually believe in science."
Governor Kathy Hochul received the latest COVID-19 vaccine at Echo Pharmacy in Hell's Kitchen and extended a standing executive order to allow New Yorkers to obtain the vaccine regardless of health condition. The order, first issued Sept. 5 and extended Sept. 16, counters new CDC and FDA restrictions under Dr. Terry Kennedy and HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr., who are described as vaccine skeptics. Hochul said federal policy removed pharmacists' authority to vaccinate people under 65 or those without preexisting conditions, restricting parental access for children and adults seeking protection. Pharmacist Danny Chang administered the shot and thanked her for supporting the health care community.
