The \u2018Vaccinate, Educate, Graduate\u2019 program will further incentivize parents and guardians to get their children protected, and we strongly encourage them to do so. We thank Governor Hochul for encouraging more New Yorkers to get vaccinated and for leveraging CUNY\u2019s strong reputation to help lead the State\u2019s resurgence.\u201dIn late September, Hochul told a Sunday mass at a Christian Cultural Center service, \u201cYes, I know you\u2019re vaccinated, you\u2019re the smart ones, but you know, there are people out there who aren\u2019t listening to God and what God wants.
