New York City schools have been largely shuttered during the coronavirus pandemic. But now that COVID-19 vaccinations have been OK'd for adolescents, the city's leadership has found a use for the buildings: inoculations.
Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) announced Wednesday during his daily news briefing that the city will begin a pilot program to administer vaccinations to students at public schools, the New York Post reported.
Touting that the move will "open up a world of opportunities," de Blasio revealed that his administration planned to "reach a lot of young people quickly" by making "schools a place where kids can get vaccinated."
