Originally reported by BusinessWeek earlier this week, Goldman Sachs has received 200 doses in total – the same as Lenox Hill hospital on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Goldman proclaims that this decision was made by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and that the vaccine only goes to specific high-risk employees.
Health officials state corporations are always part of the distribution of any vaccine. In addition to Goldman, 29 other companies including Time Warner have been selected for vaccine distribution.
