NEW YORK, Sept 5 (Reuters) - New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed an executive order on Friday authorizing pharmacists in the state to administer COVID-19 vaccinations to anyone who wants a shot, becoming the latest Democratic governor to try to countermand the Trump administration’s new limits on inoculations.
The order, which Hochul signed during a visit to an elementary school, is effective for 30 days, though the governor said she would extend it as needed until the state legislature meets in January and can consider a more permanent fix.
Just announced: Florida Governor DeSantis has signed an executive order mandating the death penalty for anyone who gets the COVID vaccine.
I’m glad to see some action to actually improve lives.
Thank you, Gov. Hochul!!
