Despite the federal government's mission to create confusion & sow distrust, @nycHealthy works tirelessly to make vaccination accessible & through trusted partners across all five boroughs. We look forward to continuing our partnership with @Lynn4NYC & @NYCCouncil on this issue.

Thank you to @SpeakerMenin, @Lynn4NYC and @NYCCouncil for their unwavering commitment to protecting and upholding vaccination guidelines. Vaccines are one of the most effective tools we have to prevent disease and save lives.

INTs 260-A & 693-A, and Res 273-A & 425, sponsored by Council Members @CMShekarK, @EricDinowitzNYC, and @Lynn4NYC, expand public education on the importance of vaccinations, combatting misinformation through the distribution of informational materials to public school families.

“City Council leaders said Thursday that it would lead the charge on promoting vaccines and public health in New York in an era when the federal government has effectively withdrawn from that effort.” amny.com/lifestyle/city…

NYC isn’t waiting on Washington. 💉🗽 via @amNewYork: “If it were up to the federal government, we’d all be sick, we’d all be unhealthy, and some people would die as a result of that” said @Lynn4NYC yesterday at presser on combating vax misinformation amny.com/lifestyle/city…

@Lynn4NYC @NYCCouncil It's official! The @NYCCouncil has passed Int. 260, Int. 693, Res. 273, Res. 425, and Res. 448. New Yorkers deserve science-based public health policy — and today we delivered. 🎉

@Lynn4NYC @NYCCouncil At the Pre-Stated Press Conference, @Lynn4NYC underscored “New York City always steps up when Washington steps back. Today we are doing exactly that.” Now onto Stated! 👇

Historically, NYC sends out more in tax revenue than it gets back. As @SpeakerMenin stated, the City Council is committed to finding savings and protecting services for NYC residents, but it also is important to explore other funding options.

Today we launched a new campaign to help educate NYC teens on the risks of e-cigarettes and inform them that free support is available. NYC teens who vape can get help by visiting nyc.gov/vaping

Measles cases continue to rise in the U.S. due to declining childhood vaccination rates. This is preventable. Two doses of the MMR vaccine are 97% effective against measles.

Even though The Devil Wears Prada 2 doesn't open until May 1, it has already added over $67 million to NY's economy. Imagine the impact once it opens. I was privileged to attend a recent screening of the movie and it is sensational! Thx to @motionpictures for the invite.
