NASSAU COUNTY, NY — Nassau County is beginning to push for eligible teens to get vaccinated against the coronavirus to help boost herd immunity. To help, the county will be holding a series of high school vaccination days at Nassau Community College from May 13 through 16.
In partnership with the school and Northwell Health, the county will be administering doses of the Pfizer vaccine, which is approved for people age 16 and up. County officials are aiming to vaccinate 500 teens per day over the course of the event.
