A Bronx judge ruled on Monday that New York unfairly excluded state prison and jail inmates from access to the CCP virus vaccine and must immediately begin offering them the jab.
Bronx Supreme Court Justice Alison Tuitt said in an order (pdf) that the Respondents—Howard Zucker, Commissioner of Health for New York State, and Gov. Andrew Cuomo—acted in an “arbitrary and capricious” manner in excluding inmates from COVID-19 vaccine priority group 1b, “especially in light of the fact that Respondents approved vaccinations for all other congregate living facilities, including juvenile detention facilities.”
