New Pop-up Vaccination Sites
Yesterday, Governor Kathy Hochul announced that there were 45 new #VaxForKids pop-up vaccination sites to increase vaccination rates among children and adolescents.
“The best way to keep our children safe is to make sure they’re vaccinated,” said Governor Hochul. “If you’re a parent that has hesitated to get your child vaccinated, now is the time. More than 1.5 million children are already vaccinated in New York State, which has been a critical tool for keeping our schools open, so sign your children who are 5 years or older up for their shot today.”
The full list of #VaxForKids sites is available here.
