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.
The CDC says nearly 71 million Americans, or just over a quarter of the adult population, have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, while nearly one in 10 of all adults is fully vaccinated.
