New York Health Network faces criminal investigation of COVID-19 vaccine

(Reuters)-New York State health officials said on Saturday that they are investigating a Brooklyn-based healthcare provider for suspected violation of state guidelines for the distribution of COVID-19 vaccine.

The ParCare community health network “may have obtained the COVID-1

9 vaccine fraudulently, violating state guidelines, transferring it to facilities in other parts of the state, and transferring it to the public, which is in line with the state’s plan to manage it first. The plan in the medical field runs counter to Chi State Health Commissioner Howard Zucker (Howard Zucker) said in a statement.

He added: “We take this very seriously, and the Ministry of Health will assist the state police in a criminal investigation of this matter.”

ParCare said it is cooperating with the state government. The company said in a statement that it is working to “provide critical health care services and manage the COVID-19 vaccine to qualified personnel who meet the guidelines of the New York State Department of Health, including frontline health care workers and first responders.”

The company posted a photo of the Moderna vaccine on its Facebook page on Tuesday, and stated that its center received treatment that morning (that is, five days after it had been “authorized to distribute the vaccine to people meeting certain criteria”).

“One injection can make a difference for the entire community!” it said.
