There's a renewed push to make sure people get their COVID booster shot on Long Island, where residents have been hesitant to roll up their sleeves for another shot.
While this clinic is helping, other medical experts say the number of New Yorkers getting bivalent is low. Most haven't taken it.
According to the CDC, 11.5 million Americans have received the shot since becoming available last month."That's why it's so important for people to go out now and get the bivalent boosters before we get into what I anticipate will be a rough respiratory season," said Dr. Matthew Harris of Northwell Health Pediatric Emergency Medicine.
Harris is the medical director for Northwell Health's COVID-19 vaccine program. He says there's an uptick in the number of COVID hospital admissions and diagnoses. "Nearly 450 people admitted throughout the health system are COVID positive and that number has increased substantially over the past six weeks," Harris said.
