Friend,
This week, I called on New York State to open a COVID-19 vaccine distribution center in Yonkers to handle the thousands of local residents eligible to receive it.
Since Yonkers is the 4th largest city in the state and the largest in the Hudson Valley, we must meet our region's vaccine needs by opening an additional center in our city. Positivity and hospitalization rates continue to rise here while appointments to obtain a vaccine are increasingly difficult to schedule. We can't expect the Westchester County Center alone to mass service most of those who live in the lower Hudson Valley. We need to expedite the vaccine to the areas where it's needed most.
Our collective goal is for all of us to gain herd immunity as we vaccinate more and more Americans – let Yonkers be a means to that goal so we can once again open up our schools, businesses, and homes as they should.
As always, I will keep you updated on vaccination centers and other information as it becomes available.
