The city’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene confirmed the closures, but did not specify the date the sites will close. But City Councilmembers Lincoln Restler and Gale Brewer have said the sites will shutter on August 14th. The city’s COVID-19 tracker has not publicly released data on the progress of toddler vaccination, but the health department said rates are dropping. In a letter to the New York City Health Commissioner Ashwin Vasan last week, Brewer decried the timing of the closures, pointing out that public school starts in less than a month. DOHMH also recommends that families can go to their pediatrician or local pharmacies,” Brewer said.
