 Governor Kathy Hochul today updated New Yorkers on the state's progress combating COVID-19.  

"The vaccine is the most important tool we have in the fight against COVID-19 and with winter months approaching, it's more important than ever that we keep working to get all New Yorkers vaccinated," Governor Hochul said. "Not only is the vaccine safe, effective, and readily available, but we have established incentive programs to encourage those who remain unvaccinated to get their shot. It is crucial that we continue to work together to protect our loved ones and our communities and getting the vaccine is the best way to accomplish that goal."
