In preparation for Monday's vaccination deadline for health care workers, today I am releasing a comprehensive plan to address preventable staffing shortages in hospitals and other health care facilities statewide.
If necessary, I’m prepared to sign an executive order to increase workforce supply and allow qualified health care professionals licensed in other states or countries, recent graduates, retired and formerly practicing health care professionals to practice in New York.
Other options include deployment of medically-trained @NationalGuardNY members, and partnering with the federal government to deploy teams to assist local health and medical systems.
I’ll also work with the federal government and other state leaders to explore ways to expedite visa requests for medical professionals.
To all of the health care workers who have stepped up to get vaccinated, thank you. 
To all remaining health care workers who are unvaccinated, I urge you to do so now so you can continue providing care.
We are still in a battle against COVID to protect our loved ones, and we need to fight with every tool at our disposal.https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/preparation-monday-vaccination-deadline-governor-hochul-releases-comprehensive-plan-address …
Thank you for standing firm and following science.
Thank you @GovKathyHochul. Please do your part by:
1) Modelling mask wearing at all times
2) Reinstating the Covid report card website today - parents need transparency in Covid cases in schools
3) Changing guidelines for school lunch - it should be outside when possible
Grace what are your thoughts on the school kids getting nutrition through IV’s so they can stay triple masked al day? It wouldnt be as hard as you might think!
@GovKathyHochul Are you ready to begin vaccines for kids < 12 ? @pfizer state they could be approved before Halloween. Are you ready ?
