Governor Kathy Hochul announced the #VAxForKids campaign earlier this week. The new program urges pediatricians, parents, and guardians to make sure that children ages five and up get vaccinated, and keep up with all boosters and recommended doses.
There will be several #VaxForKids pop-up sites in established communities, whose locations will be announced soon, to help administer first and second doses for children five and older. Boosters and additional doses will be available at these locations for eligible children and adolescents as well.
Governor Hochul said:
For residents looking to get the COVID-19 vaccine, New York wants to remind its residents that it is free and widely available statewide. The list of the state's mass vaccination sites can be found by CLICKING HERE. The state-run locations are offering the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for children five years and older, booster doses for New Yorkers 12 years and older, and additional doses for immunocompromised children five years and older.
For more information, you can visit vaccines.gov, text your ZIP code to 438829, or call 1-800-232-0233 to find a vaccination location near you.
