New York nursing homes and other adult care facilities must provide access to COVID-19 booster shots to all residents, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Nov. 28 as a part of a state of emergency declaration.
"We’ve got to do everything we can to protect vulnerable New Yorkers. That means making sure everyone is able to get a booster," Ms. Hochul tweeted. "All nursing homes and adult care facilities will now be required to make booster doses available to all of their residents."
The emergency declaration will go into effect Dec. 3.
