Governor Hochul Updates New Yorkers on State’s Progress Combating COVID-19

75,490 Vaccine Doses Administered Over Last 24 Hours

33 COVID-19 Deaths Statewide Yesterday

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."

The COVID-19 Vaccine Tracker Dashboard is available to update New Yorkers on the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine. The New York State Department of Health requires vaccinating facilities to report all COVID-19 vaccine administration data within 24 hours; the vaccine administration data on the dashboard is updated daily to reflect the most up-to-date metrics in the state's vaccination effort. New York State Department of Health-reported data from NYSIIS and CIR differs slightly from federally-reported data, which is inclusive of federally-administered doses and other minor differences. Both numbers are included in the release above.
