A Major Health Announcement From New York State

The fall of 2024 will begin this month and New York State is reminding residents to be mindful of their own health.

The summer seemed to fly by, and school is back in session. With the school year starting, the cold and flu and COVID season is about to begin. Are you ready?

The Governor of New York State is reminding people about the benefits of getting a COVID vaccine or a booster shot.

IN a recent report, it was noted that New York State Health Commissioner Dr. James McDonald signed an order that allows New Yorkers to receive the new vaccine at any pharmacy in New York State without a prescription.

In her post on "X", Kathy Hochul mentioned that: "The new COVID-19 vaccine is available to New Yorkers now. I got my shot, and you should too! It’s the best way to protect your family and community".

You can track the COVID numbers here in New York State and your community on the New York State COVID website. There seemed to be a bit of a spike in July and since then we have seen a downward trend. As for the peak of this year's numbers, it seems that January 8th was the day with the most positive cases reported.
