"Our #VaxtoSchool program has helped New York students and their families get vaccinated and has been critical to making sure our schools stay open," Governor Kathy Hochul said.
"We thank the localities and community organizations on-the-ground who worked with us to administer tens of thousands of vaccine doses to school communities statewide. Parents and guardians: visit a #VaxtoSchool site this week to make sure your child is fully vaccinated against COVID-19."
The goal for the program was to schedule 120 sites statewide, but in the end 235 sites were established. As of Dec. 3, 70% of 12-17 year-olds and 20% of 11 year-olds have received at least one dose of the vaccine.
