Why get the COVID-19 vaccine? If you’re vaccinated, you’re protecting your parents, grandparents, friends and community too. More from @nychealthy: nyc.gov/covidvaccine Commissioner Ashwin Vasan, MD, PhD Matt McCarthy Ashita Batavia Dr. Syra Madad

47 million doses of Covid vaccine have been "allocated" to the government, less than 7 million used. We're in a race against new Covid variants gaining foothold in U.S. There are 50 million seniors over age 65. We have the tools to protect many of them. We should give them access

I've never seen an epi curve like this. The B.1.1.7 variant is spreading like wildfire in the UK and Ireland. If it spreads here, it will make an already-bad situation even worse.

About 8% of people in the US have been fully vaccinated, which means 92% haven't. Vaccines will become much more available soon, but letting our guard down too early is risky.

I get a lot of messages from people confused about which #COVID19 vaccine to get. So let me answer here for everyone because it’s actually quite simple: Get whatever vaccine you can, as soon as you can! That’s honestly the advice I give to my patients, my friends and my family.

#BREAKING: Starting Tuesday, April 6 at 8am, all New Yorkers age 16+ will be eligible to schedule and receive the COVID-19 vaccines. And beginning tomorrow at 8am, all New Yorkers age 30+ will be eligible to schedule and receive the vaccines. Let’s #VaccinateNY

All New Yorkers age 16+ are now eligible for the vaccine and you can make an appointment by: 1. Going online at ny.gov/GetVaccinated 2. Calling the NYS COVID-19 Vaccine Hotline 1-833-NYS-4-VAX (1-833-697-4829) Let's get back to the things we love. Let's #VaccinateNY

Ask your friends, family and neighbors if they've been vaccinated. If not, ask if you can help them sign up or support them to get vaccinated. Listen and acknowledge their concerns, address with facts, and tell real stories of real people harmed by Covid and protected by vaccine.

We all want to be with our family and friends again, and the best way to make that happen is by getting the vaccine as soon as it’s available to you. I have my vaccine squad—do you? Reach out to five friends or family members to make sure they're vaccinated and tag them below!

When you see someone wearing a mask outdoors, consider this: The person behind the mask may have a condition that limits their ability to mount an immune response to a vaccine. These people know that broad recommendations from the CDC don’t account for the nuances of their lives.
