ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) As the pace of COVD-19 vaccinations has slowed, New York officials are trying a mix of mandates and incentives to overcome hesitancy, including free subway rides.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said the state can t mandate vaccines until they get full approval from the federal government. If that happens, New York will require students of the state s and New York City s public university and college systems to get vaccinated to attend in-person classes this fall, Cuomo said in a Monday press conference in New York City.

Nuzzles, cuddles, and walks were available in abundance as people were confined to their homes during the pandemic, holed up with their pets, who were blissfully unaware of the mortifying circumstances of the outside world. But now that the United States appears to be turning a corner (fingers crossed) with increased vaccinations, you’ll likely want to venture outside your home with greater frequency, potentially leaving your dog or other pet wondering where the hell all the nuzzles and cuddles went.

Cuomo says New York public colleges will require students to get vaccines
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced on Monday that the State University of New York and the City University of New York will require Covid-19 vaccinations for students returning this fall, assuming the federal government gives full approval to the vaccines.
“If you must have a vaccine, get it now if you have to get it anyway, Cuomo said. I also encourage private schools to do the same thing. Let’s make a global statement you cannot go back to school in September unless you have a vaccine. That will be a major motivation to get the vaccine.
