“Suffolk County is pleased to hear that access to naloxone will be more readily available to those who need it. Governor Cuomo’s proposal to distribute naloxone through certain pharmacies without requiring a prescription will further reduce barriers to the public’s access to this lifesaving medication, and enhance community wide response to opioid overdose, strengthening the EMS and law enforcement emergency response system.”
