New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and Meisha Porter, chancellor of the New York City Department of Education, look back at the whole picture on the administration's education policies and initiatives and take calls from listeners.
.@NYCMayor tells @BrianLehrer the city is now at 82,000 vaccinations for five- to 11-year-olds, representing 12 percent of that age category. Says in-school vaccination played a role in that. "We're off to a vert strong start with vaccinating our youngest New Yorkers," he said.
