Safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines are now available in New York City to help us end the COVID-19 pandemic. They are easily available to most New Yorkers and all vaccinations are free.
It has never been easier to get a COVID-19 vaccination in NYC. Children 12-17 years old are eligible for the vaccine. Those who are fully vaccinated can more safely gather with friends and enjoy other benefits of vaccination, so get your shot today.
Some schools have walk-in vaccination sites - dates and locations can be found on the DOE’s website.
Check out this Frequently Asked Questions About COVID-19 Vaccines for Families and Educators for more information.
Also, share the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene’s Back to School Youth Vaccination Information videos in multiple languages here: https://www.youtube.com/c/NYCHealth/videos
To find a vaccination site near you, including those that take appointments, use the City's Vaccine Finder (not accessible with Internet Explorer). Note, people who are 12 to 17 years old can only receive the Pfizer vaccine.
Learn more about which groups are eligible for vaccination covered by the State's latest guidance.
