vaccine

SUNY is pushing vaccine awareness campaigns and encouraging students and faculty to use vaccine clinics on campus.

An amendment to the Senate bill designed to prevent "vaccine passports" would prohibit the secretary from ordering mask wearing and other public health measures.

Rates in some low-income urban and rural areas are as low as 38.8%. The governor says local governments need to focus on those areas and give it "one more push."

"We hit 70%, we will be back to life as normal, or as normalized as you can be post-COVID.”

"There's still a segment of the population who are apprehensive, who are on the fence, and that's why this event is going to be critical."

Younger people were cleared for the COVID-19 vaccine later than older people, and they are getting vaccinated at much lower rates.

Members of the state’s ethics commission pressed Tuesday for a subpoena to look into a controversy over Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s hiring of a former aide as a “volunteer” COVID-19 vaccine czar.

“Our goal should be focused on getting the vaccine to those who want it, but not punish those who have made a personal choice."

Several other schools across New York are also requiring immunizations.

“I think there is an obvious desire to get back to normal, and get their youth and lives back that they so dearly miss."
