There is a
new push today to get children vaccinated ahead of the holidays.
Gov. Kathy
Hochul is urging parents to get a shot for their children ahead of family
gatherings.
“As Thanksgiving is
approaching, this is the week that we can protect our grandparents, and our
loved ones, and make sure that we will be there for the next Thanksgiving and
celebrate Christmas together,” says Hochul.
The former
head of the FDA is also warning of a surge in COVID-19 cases after
Thanksgiving gatherings.
Dr. Scott
Gottlieb says he anticipates and uptick in cases, but is urging everyone
to remain vigilant and get vaccinated.
