Mayor de Blasio mulls vaccination sites at NYC schools
New York City could set up vaccination sites at public schools, Mayor de Blasio said Tuesday.
All options are on the table, he said, as about 20,000 kids ages 12 to 15 in the city have gotten their first COVID shots.
“It’s worth a look, for sure,” Hizzoner said of the idea, which came from Councilman Mark Levine (D-Manhattan). “We’re going to look at, as always, different options about what’s the best way to reach people.”
Last week, U.S. regulators approved Pfizer and Moderna shots for 12- to 15-year-olds. Since then, about 600,000 people in that age group have gotten jabbed nationwide, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
