In New York City, children can claim $100 if they get their first dose of Pfizer’s vaccine at city-operated vaccine site. “We really want kids to take advantage, families take advantage of that,” Mayor Bill de Blasio said Thursday. Plus, the Chicago school district — one of the largest in the nation — is closing on November 12 for Vaccination Awareness Day to make it easier for students to get their shots. In Minnesota, officials launched the “Kids Deserve a Shot” program intended to bolster vaccine numbers among those ages 12 and 17, officials said. Overall, the US has fully vaccinated more than 58% of the total population as of Thursday, according to CDC data.
