Eighty-nine-year-old New Yorker Bob Holzman received his COVID-19 vaccine as soon as he could, hoping it would allow him to get back to his favorite activity, dancing. We know that for essential workers, having hours early in the morning, late in the day and overnight, those are critically important as well to make sure people are able to access vaccination in a way that is convenient for them, Health Commissioner Dr. David Chokshi said.
So far, more than 2.9 million New Yorkers have received their vaccine, including at Nassau County Community College, where a vaccine pod is offering recipients like college counselor Andrea Warmbrand a new sense of security.

NASSAU COUNTY, NY FEMA has awarded Nassau County $71.8 million to help fund the Western Bays Resiliency Project, which will replenish tidal wetlands to prevent flooding, sewage back-up and unhealthy environments in Reynolds Channel and the Western Bays.
The grant money was announced by Rep. Kathleen Rice and Nassau County Executive Laura Curran. The money comes from FEMA s Hazard Mitigation Grant Program, which gives funds to local governments to rebuild in ways that help prevent future disasters. With our climate changing and sea levels rising, Long Island faces the troubling reality of stronger and more frequent storms, said Rice. By repairing tidal wetlands, this project will both strengthen storm resiliency along our shores and improve water quality. I am pleased FEMA has awarded this federal grant, and I will continue to fight for federal funding in Congress to ensure we are prepared for when the next Superstorm Sandy hits.
