A network of urgent care clinics based in Brooklyn will likely be charged with multiple crimes after an investigation into how it handled a batch of the coronavirus vaccine, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced.

The governor said Monday that a state police investigation into ParCare Community Health Network — which has locations in Brooklyn and Harlem — will be referred to the Attorney General after authorities concluded that there were multiple crimes in the way the clinics transferred, stored and administered the vaccine, Cuomo said Monday.
