New York Resources
Attention:
All New Yorkers 16 years of age and older are now eligible to be vaccinated. People who work or study in New York are also eligible.
Note, people who are 16 or 17 years old can only receive the Pfizer vaccine.
Most City-run sites are offering walk-up vaccinations for New Yorkers. You do not need an appointment at these sites.
You can also schedule an appointment for certain vaccination sites by calling 877-VAX-4NYC (877-829-4692)
DO I need an id to get the vaccine in new york?
New Yorkers must bring proof of age and New York residency. Some sites may only vaccinate people from a certain borough or ZIP code.
Minors must have identification to verify they are at least 16 years of age, or they must have a parent or legal guardian present to attest on their behalf. A parent or legal guardian must also provide consent for vaccination — either in person or by phone — at the time of the vaccine appointment.
People who live outside of New York must bring proof of age and that they work or study in New York.
You will not need to provide proof of immigration status or a social security number to get vaccinated. ID and residency documentation for proof of eligibility is to confirm eligibility for vaccination.
When you receive the vaccine, your privacy will be protected. There are strict laws in place to ensure confidentiality of your personal information. For addditional information or acceptable forms of ID click here.
