Coronavirus rates are drastically dropping nationwide, and much of that is attributed to the vaccine. The problem is that not everyone is on board to get it. Now is the time to put this virus to bed and win this race once and for all, said Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney.
Rep. Maloney held a news conference outside Montefiore St. Luke s Hospital in Newburgh Thursday on his second stop along his vaccine awareness tour.
