Gov. Andrew
Cuomo announced Wednesday that 10 more mass vaccination sites will be opening
in the state Friday - but one county says it's still waiting for one.
The new
Hudson Valley sites are SUNY
Orange in Middletown and the Ulster Fairgrounds in New Paltz. The sites will be
open from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. and will give out 1,000 COVID-19 vaccines per day.
Rockland County Executive Ed Day, who has
been calling for a mass
vaccination site for months, says the area is at or near the top in both
infection rate and death rate due to COVID-19.
"My God, what the hell... we can stop people
from dying," he says.
Rockland residents can use other state vaccination
sites, but Day says that he's ready to have Rockland County Community College
up and running in a day if he has the approval.
