Andrew Cuomo, Microclusters and Vaccine Distribution Politics
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo introduced the concept of "microclusters" to describe neighborhood-level COVID-19 outbreaks that trigger localized restrictions. Cuomo expressed concern over the Pfizer vaccine announcement, suggesting it was "bad news" because the distribution plan would be managed by the Trump administration rather than the incoming Biden team. He indicated he was coordinating with other governors to potentially modify or delay the federal vaccination plan to prevent perceived "damage."
