Mayor Bill de Blasio continued to drive home the importance of youth vaccinations on Aug. 26.

The mayor began his daily media briefing on Thursday morning by pouring over the pages of a limited-edition Marvel comic book, a copy of which will be distributed to New Yorkers receiving their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.

While this new initiative was only implemented on Aug. 25 by SOMOS physicians, de Blasio is already looking to the next resource to have children protected before school starts.
