There is a push across the Tri-State Area to get students vaccinated against COVID-19 before school starts.

New York City’s strategy has been to make the COVID vaccine as accessible as possible, but data shows fewer than half the city’s 12 to 17-year-olds got their first dose, CBS2’s Aundrea Cline-Thomas reported.

“I just kept bugging her, just saying I wanted to get the shot, everyday,” said 15-year-old Jasiah Kingsbury.
