“New York City: What Can We Do After Getting a COVID-19 Vaccination?” a Virtual Town Hall

From the office of State Senator Liz Krueger:

"Now that we have three COVID-19 vaccines available, there appears to be light at the end of the tunnel. However, we live in a densely populated city where variants are rapidly spreading and COVID-19 cases are rising. The White House COVID-19 Response Team recently emphasized the importance of continuing to follow safety precautions, and the dangers of reopening too quickly. Now, many New Yorkers are asking: what is safe to do after getting vaccinated and what are the implications for reopening the City?

The Virtual Town Hall will feature Dr. Celine Gounder, an Infectious Disease Specialist and Epidemiologist at NYU Grossman School of Medicine and Bellevue Hospital, a CNN Medical Analyst, and a former Biden Transition COVID advisor. Dr. Gounder will share information during the Town Hall about the impact of the COVID-19 vaccines on contracting and transmitting the virus, COVID-19 variants, public health, and reopening, as well as what activities are reasonable to resume post-vaccination.

You will have the option of joining the event online through Zoom, a webinar hosting service.

You will also have the option to view the event online through Facebook. Please note that you do not need a Facebook account or profile to view the event through Facebook.

If you do not have access to a computer, tablet, or other electronic device, you can listen in by telephone.

**Once you register for the event, you will receive a confirmation email with the Zoom and Facebook links, and the call-in information.**

The event will feature a question and answer session with Dr. Gounder. If you have questions about the protection that COVID-19 vaccines provide, types of activities that are safe to resume post-vaccination and with whom, and what public health requirements should be considered in the public and private sectors to help keep us safe, including vaccine passports and COVID workplace regulations, please RSVP for this event. Attendees will be able to submit questions through Zoom and Facebook during the event but are strongly encouraged to submit them in advance.

Please let us know you plan to attend the Thursday, April 15th “New York City: What We Can Do After Getting a COVID-19 Vaccination?” by registering at https://tinyurl.com/post-vacci...."
