A former New York State Democratic Party leader, who previously worked for Gov. Andrew Cuomo, has said he received his first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine in Florida due to the slower rollout of inoculations in his native state.
New York resident John Sullivan, who worked as the party’s co-chairman in the 1990s, said he chose to receive the first dose in Florida as he became eligible for the shot there before Cuomo expanded New York’s vaccine administration network and widened eligibility criteria to include additional categories of essential workers and people aged 65 and older.
