In the meantime, state Gov. Kathy Hochul announced breakthrough data shows that as of Monday, the Department of Health is aware of 78,416 laboratory-confirmed breakthrough cases of COVID-19 among fully vaccinated people in the state, which corresponds to 0.7% of fully vaccinated people 12-years or older. Also, 5,555 hospitalizations with COVID-19 among fully vaccinated people in New York State, which corresponds to 0.05% of the population of fully-vaccinated people 12-years or older.

“The COVID-19 pandemic isn’t over and it’s critical that we continue to make progress getting shots in arms throughout the state to keep New Yorkers healthy and safe,” Hochul said. “We’re implementing mask requirements in schools and facilities to keep children and their parents safe, but those measures alone won’t defeat this pandemic–we need to get everyone who’s eligible vaccinated immediately. If you haven’t received your shot and are eligible, it’s vitally important that you get it as soon as possible at one of the many sites located around the state.”
