On January 10, 2023, anti-mandate protesters traveled to Albany from NYC and across the state. They gathered in the state capitol to lobby lawmakers and protest existing vaccine mandates and proposed legislation as the new legislative session began and Governor Kathy Hochul delivered her state of the state address.

Protesters booed and pursued Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz as he walked to the elevator after leaving the chamber where Governor Hochul delivered her address.

Dinowitz has been a strong supporter of vaccine mandates, and is currently sponsoring bills to make COVID-19 vaccination mandatory for K-12 and college students, eliminate religious exemptions to vaccine mandates for employment and school, and create a state system to track medical exemptions.
