Columbia University Irving Medical Center
Several faculty and staff members representing Columbia University Irving Medical Center participated in videos produced to encourage their fellow New Yorkers to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
Their stories, captured in 30- to 60-second videos, will be broadcast on major networks starting this week as part of “Roll Up Your Sleeves NY,” a COVID-19 public education campaign spearheaded by the New York governor’s office.
