Governor Cuomo is allocating 15-million dollars to various community groups in an effort to boost COVID-19 vaccination rates.
Cuomo says there is some good news regarding vaccine rates, as NY has surpassed the vaccination goal set by the Biden administration.
The governor says this latest outreach effort targets the remaining quarter of the population.
Cuomo argues the Delta variant adds a new level of urgency, as active case numbers have notably increased over the past month.
The governor says empowering community-based groups to get out and answer people's questions will help boost vaccination rates.
