"In just seven weeks, 146 #VaxtoSchool sites in all corners of the state have helped more school-aged New Yorkers and their families get vaccinated," Hochul said. "Taking a community-centered approach and working in collaboration with partners on the ground, we are continuing to increase vaccination rates among New York's adolescents - keeping New York's schools open, healthy, and safe. To New York's parents and guardians: help make sure your child is vaccinated - it is and remains their best protection against the virus."
