Martine Hackett, director of public health programs at the School of Health Professions and Human Services, spoke with Newsday regarding the closing of all mass vaccination sites in the state, stating it is a “major turning point” in the fight against COVID-19.
“Over the last two years, we have gone from uncertainty about how to control the spread of the virus to the limited availability of vaccines, to mass vaccination sites to vaccines for all ages and boosters,” Hackett said. “The mass vaccination sites across New York State represented a true public health effort to reduce hospitalization and deaths and for the most part, it worked very well.”
Hackett also noted the elimination of mass vaccination sites gives parents of children under the age of 5, who only became eligible for vaccination in the last few days, one less option.
“As long as the supply of doses and booster shots remain steady at other locations, the public should feel confident knowing that our public health systems came through,” she said.
