Governor Hochul Updates New Yorkers on State's Progress Combating COVID-19
Governor Kathy Hochul has updated New Yorkers on the state's progress combating COVID-19.
"The COVID-19 vaccine is readily available, free, and most importantly, it's effective - now, for those eligible, it is also important to get booster shots to ensure your vaccine is as efficient as possible," Governor Hochul said. "A year ago, we were not lucky enough to have a vaccine at our disposal, but now we have multiple. The vaccine is the best tool we have to work our way out of this pandemic and I encourage those who have not yet received theirs to go out and get it to protect yourself and your loved ones."
