As COVID cases surge in New York ahead of anticipated holiday travel, the state is offering dozens of vaccination pop-ups starting this week, including in New York City, Long Island and Westchester County.

"The winter surge is in full force, but we are not defenseless. We have the tools to fight this virus and its variants: Get vaccinated, get the booster and wear a mask," Gov. Kathy Hochul said in a statement Friday. "We will continue working with local partners to make vaccines, boosters and testing widely available as soon (as) possible so that all New Yorkers can protect themselves and their loved ones."
