New York Governor revealers list of all places when kids can get COVID vaccine
Article continues below
That is the multi-faceted statewide campaign aimed at increasing COVID-19 vaccination rates among school-aged New Yorkers.
The campaign furthers Governor Hochul's commitment to ensuring equitable access to vaccines, and to make the health and well-being of students, teachers and families a top priority.
The #VaxtoSchool campaign, critical resources and materials for parents and guardians of school-aged children and schools are available at ny.gov/vaxtoschool. The site includes vaccine information, and an FAQ for parents and guardians.
Additionally, the state's Instagram channel, VaccinateNY, helps educate school-aged New Yorkers and their families about the COVID-19 vaccine directly.
This social media platform provides approachable, interactive content with easy-to-understand vaccine information, prospective content partnerships, #VaxtoSchool social media design contests, and quick video explainers.
The goal is to ensure all New Yorkers have the facts about the COVID-19 vaccine. The New York State Department of Health will also amplify these digital education efforts across all its social media channels, including Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
Pop-up vaccination sites are located at the addresses below. SOMOS Community Care will provide vaccinations at locations in New York City and Inverse Medical will provide vaccinations at locations throughout the state. Additional locations may be announced in the future.
