"You'll have fraud in the vaccine process; it's an nearly inevitable function of human nature and of the marketplace".
Cuomo stated this response after reports that the health network, which has four facilities in Brooklyn, fraudulently obtained the Moderna vaccine.
Cuomo declared an executive order threatening to revoke all state licenses for health care providers, including doctors, nurses and pharmacists, who fraudulently administer a coronavirus vaccine, increasing criminal penalties up to $1 million.
James "is going to take it on and make it a priority", he said.
Through a social media post on Facebook on December 16 ParCare, the community offered vaccine doses on a first come first serve basis.
"We will not tolerate any fraud in the vaccination process", Cuomo said Monday during a coronavirus briefing in the state Capitol.
According to one of the top doctors in NY, doses of the coronavirus vaccine may have been wrongfully obtained and circulated in parts of NY by ParCare.

Cuomo says 140,000 New Yorkers have received one vaccine dose. "I want people to understand we are trying to find a way to reopen businesses and use our technology to reopen businesses", Cuomo said.
DOH, the attorney general and state inspector general continuously monitor the vaccine distribution system and health organizations.
ParCare says it administered 869 doses of the vaccine and is working with the state to ensure a second dose for the patients that already received the first one.
ParCare says it returned the remainder of the Moderna vaccine to the state and is actively cooperating with the state of New York's requests.
New York's statewide positivity rate is 8.3% - an increase from the 5.9% seven day average.
While the state is trying to figure out if the uptick is the result of a holiday surge or an increase in testing over the long weekend, Cuomo touted that NY is leading the country in vaccination rates: 140,000 New Yorkers have received the first dose, and 259,000 more vaccines are expected this week.
