New York is extending the vax and scratch coronavirus vaccine incentive program through Friday.
There are now ten new vaccine sites where people can get a free lottery ticket worth $ 20 if they get their first shot this week. The new sites include at Crossgates Mall in the former Lord and Taylor store. The top prize is $ 5 million, but folks have a one in nine chance of winning some amount of money. This is one of a number of incentives offered by the state to try and get the vaccination rate up.

Moderna has started the process of applying for full FDA approval for its COVID-19 vaccine for people over the age of 18. The drug company will continue to submit trial data to the FDA on a rolling basis over the next several weeks as it waits for the agency to conduct a priority review. The review is expected to take about six months. We are pleased to announce this important step in the U.S. regulatory process for a Biologics License Application (BLA) of our COVID-19 vaccine, Moderna CEO
Stéphane Bancel said in a statement. We look forward to working with the FDA and will continue to submit data from our Phase 3 study and complete the rolling submission.
