NYC is hitting up nightlife hotspots to get young people vaccinated

Connor Murphy is 25 years old, and he's about to get his COVID-19 vaccine - a one-time shot.

He was the first person to get a shot at a mobile vaccine van, parked on the corner of Greenwich Avenue and Christopher Street, in the West Village.

Why now? The convenience.

"I’ve always been for getting it, not really a rush for me because I seem like a pretty healthy guy so, but now that it’s convenient enough to get it where I know I can, here I am," Murphy said.

That’s how the city plans to increase the rate of vaccinations among young people, like Murphy - mobile vaccination vans, parked at nightlife hot spots around the city, such as Bushwick in Brooklyn, Astoria in Queens, and the West Village.
