On the official government portal, a plan was presented to address the shortage of employees in medical facilities in New York amid fears that the region will not cope with the volume of vaccinations until Monday.
The program provides for several options for the development of the situation with a shortage of personnel.
So, for example, skilled medics who are licensed in other states will be able to continue their activities, and another measure involves the deployment of specially trained National Guard officers and working with the federal government to expedite visa requests for health workers.
Earlier, US President Joe Biden said he had approved a new plan to scale up vaccination of the population.
