New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said Monday he would fine hospitals that fail to quickly administer their allotted doses of COVID-19 vaccine. The federal government has distributed more than 15 million doses, but so far only about 4.5 million people have received a shot.
This comes as the Food and Drug Administration recommended Monday against a proposal to cut doses of COVID-19 vaccines in half for younger people in order to stretch the U.S. vaccine supply. FDA officials also rejected mixing and matching vaccines, something officials in the U.K. are planning.
