Governor Launches New Portal to Combat Measles in New York State
Briefly

On March 19, Governor Kathy Hochul launched a new web portal aimed at providing New Yorkers access to vaccines and crucial public health information amidst reported measles cases in the state. With four cases reported this year, Hochul and State Health Commissioner Dr. James McDonald encouraged vaccination to prevent further outbreaks. Vaccination rates for children under two are at 81.4%, with school-age coverage around 90%. Hochul emphasized urgency in vaccination efforts to ensure community safety and prevent disease spread.
Measles doesn't belong in the 21st century, and it certainly doesn't belong in the State of New York. It's critical that New Yorkers take the necessary steps to get vaccinated.
The single way to prevent measles is to be immunized, and this is an irrefutable fact. Measles is much more than just a rash.
