  • Approximately 81 percent of the on-campus cases of COVID-19 are among students.
  • The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has authorized a Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine booster for individuals who received the second dose of the Pfizer vaccine at least six months ago and meet the criteria outlined on the New York City Department of Heath COVID-19 information page.
