Vaccinate Your Child

The Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine is now authorized for children ages 5 to 11 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 available at any of our hospitals.

Appointments for pediatric vaccinations are encouraged. Limited walk-ins are accepted. Please schedule an appointment for your child’s vaccine here and contact one of our hospitals if you have questions about pediatric vaccine availability.

Booster Shots

NYC Health + Hospitals is now offering vaccine booster shots to New Yorkers ages 18 and older. These shots boost your immunity from an initial vaccination series.

No one will be denied a booster shot in New York, as long as they are 18 or older and received their second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine at least six months ago, or one dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine at least two months ago.

Your booster shot can be any of the three authorized or approved vaccines. If you are not sure whether to get a booster shot or which type of vaccine you should get for your booster, talk to your health care provider.

COVID-19 Third Dose Now Available for Immunocompromised Individuals – Walk-Ins Welcome

NYC Health + Hospitals is offering a third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine to eligible New Yorkers with certain serious medical conditions or who receive treatments that weaken their immune system. You must meet the following three conditions to be eligible for a third dose of COVID-19 vaccine:

You must be 12 years of age or older.
You received two doses of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine at least 28 days ago.
You are considered moderately to severely immunocompromised.

Before Your Appointment

If you already get health care services at NYC Health + Hospitals, you must be a resident of New York State and be a member of one of the eligible groups to receive the vaccine. If you are a new patient, you must live or work in one of the five boroughs of New York City and be a member of one of the eligible groups.

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 – Please bring a copy of your work ID, pay stub or letter from your employer verifying your eligibility. If you are 12 years of age or older, please bring proof of your date of birth. For a complete list of documentation you can bring to your appointment as proof of eligibility, visit nyc.gov/covidvaccine.

Certification of medical conditions – If you are eligible for vaccination due to a medical condition, please bring a doctor’s note or complete the Certification of Eligibility to Medical Condition Form.

Talk to your doctor – If you are pregnant or breast feeding, or have a history of severe allergic reactions, please discuss vaccination with your doctor first.

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.
