Gov. Kathy Hochul has extended the state disaster emergency order
due to the monkeypox outbreak.
The original order was issued in July has
been extended twice since the
virus is still a major threat.
The emergency will continue
to allow for more speedy vaccinations by allowing EMS personnel, pharmacists,
midwives, physicians and certified nurse practitioners to administer
vaccinations.
On Oct. 27,
Hochul's team will reevaluate and whether the emergency needs to be extended
again.

Hudson Valley:
- Westchester – 87
