"Schools are going to open in September. We really want
our young people to have as normal a school experience as possible, and getting
young people vaccinated 12 and over is incredibly important. It's available,
it's free," said Nassau County Executive Laura Curran last week.
There is no appointment needed for the shots.
On Monday, Gov. Andrew Cuomo allocated $15 million to
community groups to zero in on 117 ZIP codes that are lagging in vaccination
rates. Twenty-one of those ZIP codes are on Long Island – that includes parts
of Hempstead.
