How is vaccine rollout going in New York State? This week we heard important updates from Governor Andrew Cuomo about the vaccination effort happening now in the state, but a lot of details are still missing.

Governor Cuomo has said repeatedly that the state should hit critical mass by late-summer or early-fall at latest.

Today is the second part of our conversation with Bill Hammond of the Empire Center.
