NEW YORK (WABC) -- New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo gave a thumbs up amid a round of applause as he received the COVID-19 vaccine Wednesday in Manhattan.
Cuomo got the shot during an event in Harlem in which he toured the Mount Neboh Baptist Church vaccination site.
Cuomo received the one-shot vaccine developed by Johnson & Johnson, which is less effective against recipients contracting the virus but provides strong protection against severe cases and death from COVID-19.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo received the one-shot COVID-19 vaccine developed by Johnson & Johnson Wednesday and encouraged New Yorkers to do the same.
"I want to make the point: take whatever vaccine you can take. They all work. They are all safe. Don't try to pick one over the other. Take whatever vaccine you can get," Cuomo said.
