Ten of New York's state mass COVID vaccination sites are open to children 5 to 11 years old, Governor Kathy Hochul announced Saturday.
So far, more than 50,000 children in the state have received at least one shot since the CDC approved Pfizer's vaccine for the age group, according to the governor's office.
"Since this 5 to 11 year-old age group became eligible, we have been encouraging parents to reach out to their pediatricians and local health providers to set up vaccine appointments and now I'm directing our state mass vaccination sites to open their doors to the youngest and most recently eligible New Yorkers," Hochul said.
Billions of cicadas are emerging across about 16 states in the Southeast and Midwest. Periodical cicadas used to reliably emerge every 13 or 17 years, depending on their brood. But in a warming world where spring conditions arrive sooner, climate change is messing with the bugs' internal alarm clocks.
