A new poll by Mount Sinai South Nassau finds that most Long Islanders will not get the updated COVID-19 vaccine.
The survey of 600 people from Long Island and New York City showed that only 39 percent are -planning to get the updated shot.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention approved the updated vaccine last month for everyone six months of age and older.
