A new study from the New York State Department of Health is taking a close look at the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines.

The data, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, shows that the vaccines are effective in keeping people who test positive for the coronavirus out of the hospital. The study also said that any decline in vaccine effectiveness against infections could be connected to the Delta variant and people not taking preventative measures to keep themselves safe such as wearing a mask. Anyone who hasn't been immunized can set up an appointment through the state's "Am I Eligible" website or call 1-833-697-4829.
