Gov. Andrew Cuomo must be smiling, knowing the number of New Yorkers who received a COVID-19 shot doubled from Saturday to Sunday.

"New Yorkers fought long and hard and sacrificed a lot to get to where we are today - where we are not just surviving but living life," Governor Cuomo said. "But our fight is not over, and we know this because the Delta variant continues to infect more and more people, particularly those who are still unvaccinated," Cuomo said.
