Vaccinate Your Child

NYC Health + Hospitals offers the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine to our patients ages 6 months to 17 years. The best way to protect your child at school, around friends and at home is to get them vaccinated as soon as you can. Vaccinations are safe, effective and available in the pediatric practices of any of our hospitals.

  • Children ages 6 months to 4 years should receive three doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. The first and second doses are separated by three weeks, and the second and third doses are separated by eight weeks.
  • Children ages 5 to 17 should receive two doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, given three weeks apart.

If your child is 6 months to 4 years old and a NYC Health + Hospitals patient, please call your child’s pediatrician to schedule. If your child is not a NYC Health + Hospitals patient, use the City’s Vaccine Finder or call 877-VAX-4NYC (877-829-4692) to schedule an appointment at certain sites, as well as to get other vaccination assistance.

If your child is 5 to 17, you can schedule an appointment for your child’s vaccine here. You can contact one of our hospitals if you have questions about pediatric vaccine availability.

Limited walk-ins will be accepted

Before Your Appointment

You must reside in the United States to receive the vaccine.

You will need to complete the New York State COVID-19 Vaccine Form in order to get vaccinated. The State requires the provider administering the vaccine to check that you completed the form.

Before you visit us for your vaccination, also keep in mind these tips:

Bring proof of eligibility – If you are 12 years of age or older, please bring proof of your date of birth.

Alternatively, a parent or legal guardian can attest to their child’s age.

Reschedule if you are sick – You will be unable to receive the vaccine if you have active COVID-19 or a COVID-19 test result pending. You should also reschedule if you are not feeling well on the day of your appointment.

Bring your health insurance card – COVID-19 vaccines are free with no out of pocket costs to all New Yorkers regardless of insurance status. But if you have health insurance, we will bill your insurance.

Stay protected – Wear a face covering to your appointment and follow social distance guidelines.
