New York Offers State Park Admission for Vaccination
New York’s latest incentive to try to convince people to get vaccinated against COVID-19 is an offer of free admission to any state park.
Governor Andrew Cuomo announce the “Shot in the Park” incentive that gives a two-day family pass to any state park to anyone getting a first dose of Moderna or Pfizer vaccine or the single dose of Johnson & Johnson anywhere in New York State between now and May 31.
