Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced earlier this month that people with comorbidities would be eligible to receive the vaccine beginning Monday, Feb. 15, 2021.
Mohawk Valley Health System s Chief Physician Executive, Dr. Kent Hall continued to answer questions on the vaccine and potential side effects on Tuesday. Dr. Hall has taken questions every morning on the Keeler Show since the pandemic began back in March of last year.
Tuesday s questions for the doctor were all about the vaccine, as people in the region continue to maneuver to get the inoculation.
Here are today s questions posed to Dr. Hall.
1. When filling out paperwork before the vaccine, it was discovered this week that New York is now asking questions about sexual identity as part of the survey. Why is this?
It s mid-winter break for many Central New York students, so Mohawk Valley Health System is giving your children an opportunity to be a little bit creative.
The Build Your Own Hospital contest is taking place for students between the grades of Kindergarten to 8th. According to MVHS, the contest is aimed for those who may be interested in building and construction in honor of Women in Construction Week, which takes place March 7th through the 13th.
“Women in Construction Week is an excellent opportunity to not only highlight the amazing women that work in this industry, but to bring attention to the industry as a whole and encourage the younger generations to learn more,” said Hisa Zhu, project executive for Hammes Healthcare. “It is our hope that this contest will not only help kids understand all that goes into a large project like the new MVHS Regional Medical Center, but will give them something creative and fun to work on.”
