city opened 10 vaccine hubs across New York City for New York’s youngest to
receive their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.
The
Brooklyn Children’s Museum, one of those 10 hubs, is planning to host a big
welcoming event for kids 6 months through 5 years old on Thursday. Both federal
and city officials will be at the site to answer any questions/concerns for
parents.

vaccine doses so far, with another shipment expected soon.
Appointments
can be made at one of the city’s vaccine hubs, such as NYC Health +
