Mayor Noam Bramson gets his flu shot
This morning, I joined the pharmacy team at New Rochelle’s Stop and Shop to get my flu shot. There’s more information in this press release. Getting your annual flu vaccine is always a smart thing to do, and this simple step takes on special urgency right now, as we all work to avert a potentially dangerous interaction between the flu and COVID-19 and ensure that our health care system doesn’t get overwhelmed this fall. Having taken aggressive measures to confront COVID since March, New Rochelle understands the high stakes better than almost any community in America, so let’s once again act responsibly by getting ourselves vaccinated.
Update: Here’s coverage on WCBS-TV.

New Rochelle’s Policing Review Committee is inviting public input at three virtual meetings next week. This page contains more detail, as well as information about how to register to speak or submit comments online. These initial public sessions are an opportunity to voice perspectives on Policing in an open-ended fashion, while future public sessions will invite reaction to specific proposals and recommendations.
The Committee has structured the meetings by neighborhood to ensure input from different parts of our city, but if you are not free for the session designated for your neighborhood, it’s fine to sign up on a different night.
