Vaccine Questions Answered In Moderna 'Fireside Chat': Cuomo

LONG ISLAND, NY — Questions about the Moderna vaccination will be answered during a "fireside chat" held virtually on Friday night, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said.

The event takes place at 6:30 p.m. when members of the New York State Covid-19 Vaccine Equity Task Force will host the chat about the Moderna vaccine, featuring clinicians and community members.

A representative from Moderna will be onhand to discuss the issues. Currently, both the Moderna and the Pfizer vaccines require two dosages. The Moderna vaccine requires 28 days between shots, while the Pfizer vaccination has a 21-day period between the two doses.

The event can be viewed live here; people can also register for the event, although it is not required.

Cuomo also said Thursday that for the 41st day in a row, New York's seven-day average positivity rate dropped to 3.15 percent. A total of 114 New Yorkers died over the past 24 hours, Cuomo said.
