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.
