On Saturday, state health officials responded to the outcry over discarded vaccines by again abruptly loosening guidelines as coronavirus cases continued to rise. A pharmacy’s “store clerks, cashiers, stock workers and delivery staff” could qualify, the guidelines said. This is the second time in two days that Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s administration has loosened the restrictions around who can get vaccinated in New York State. On Friday, the governor announced that medical providers could vaccinate a wider range of essential workers and New Yorkers 75 years and older starting as early as Monday.
